If you were an architect...which building...

[Kyriakos]

Yes

Besides, my own model was of the byzantine era as well,so it goes better with such an image.

However here is another one, from Byzantium1200:

 

[Oerdin]

I googled him.

The rest look like crap to me, but i think this one might have been saved with some changes:

edit:and the Leveque Tower looks nice

Gehry has had one or two good ideas and the rest since have all been derivatives of those same basic ideas.

 

[Oerdin]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I suffered through many a lecture in Gehry-designed lecture halls. They're hot in summer; cold in winter; and it's nearly impossible to hear the speaker.

BTW: If this isn't cheating, my ideal building is my beach house, which I designed.

Now that it's finished it looks pretty darn good, Krib.

 

[CavLancer]

.....opppss.

Hey pal, don't I get any credit?

 

[Leoreth]

Something as phallic and imposing as possible:

Make it more reflecty (for maximum viewing pleasure) and add a rotating restaurant on top...boom.

Or you could build the Clinton monument.

 

[Kyriakos]

Btw the unfinished athenian temple of the Olympian Zeus, whose remains are to be found even today, is another very impressive creation.

Even with only a few pillars standing, when i was there i felt elated by the temple. I kept imagining its size if it had been completed. The golden ratio is said to be used in many ancient Greek buildings, like the Parthenon, and here as well. Who knows what the ancients knew of architecture, back when it was the epitomy of art, and not something merely to be passively seen as the hideous modern buildings existent today.

Out of all the pictures of the Hagia Sophia in the world, you deliberately shifted through the internet to look for a pre-Ottoman version from a Byzantine culture website. Are the minarets and the crescent on the dome that awful to you?

I suppose Photoshop would be a superior way of accomplishing that:

A nice little foretaste of what we'll see when the Marble Emperor awakens.

Quacker's pics approved. All modern achitechture since 60-ies is beyond meh, though.

Unsurprisingly, I'd go with something based on simple Russian motiffs.

 

[Kyriakos]

I like russian architecture too I have modeled some russian cathedrals, and wooden churches.

 

[Leoreth]

I think some examples like St. Basil's Cathedrals are a little too flashy and overwrought. Stalinist Gothic is great, though.

 

[Veles]

Well, whatever floats your boat, I guess. The excessiveness of ornamentation and detailization are exactly the features I like about this kind of architechture, though.

I prefer it to more moderate specimen, actually.

 

[Mr. Dictator]

I'd be a hole in a hill with one hole and a torch for a door. Inside would be a table, a stove, maybe a chest or two, and a tunnel leading into terrifying places.

 

[Zkribbler]

Hey pal, don't I get any credit?

Erm...which I designed with a some help from CavLancer.

 

[Kyriakos]

More of the holy wisdom

 

[CavLancer]

Thanks... Good job to you too my friend! Love the Mediterranean look.

 

[Rulle_Kebab]

I like the Bilbao Guggenheim:

And some of Bjarne Ingels stuff:

Nothing like the Hagia Sophia tho hehehe

Spoiler :

Very beach house like, but it looks great. Although it has no front deck but I guess that is what the beach is for
