Probably not the most beautiful building in the world but I like it

My pick for the most beautifull:
Valencia opera house by Santiago Calatrava

The Petronas Towers of Kuala Lumpur are very dramatically beautiful, especially at night.

I tend to like skylines as a whole though too--some of my favorites are New York's, Hong Kong's, and Singapore's. Minneapolis doesn't have a bad one either--I'll have to find a good picture of the Minneapolis skyline, say with Lake Calhoun at the foreground....

I'm not sure why, but I think Schloss Charlottenburg, is really beutiful, i guess its the "simplicity"(compared to like Versailles)

A bit background...

About Israel
Israel - From the Holy Land to High-Tech and Skyscrapers land. Israel has today more than 190 skyscrapers, and in the near future it will have more then 35-40 new skyscrapers with 25-80 floors (mostly in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan).

Tel Aviv has been elected the 4th most important high-tech city in the world, and Israel as one of the most productive (after the US and Canada) in patents and high-tech firms in the world.

Israel was founded in May, 1948. David Ben Gurion was its first prime minister and Hai'im Waizman was its first president. Israel's parliament, The Knesset, has 120 members and every four years there are elections to it. The government includes 24 members that are ministers for different offices and the prime minister.

And now for our skyscrapers! (Yes, I am a skyscraper fan..)

A very interesting (and pretty I think) building in Haifa:

And, of course, the Baha'ii gardens:

Most beautiful? Dunno...

Glasgow Clydeside Auditorium. Near the SECC.
Know by residents as the 'Armadillo'...For obvious reasons.
This thing is about half and hour's travel from where I am sitting...

Pretty groovy.

 

[Pangur Bán]

Goodness, that thing is hideous from any other angle.

 

[CurtSibling]

It's cool!
Looking at it, it reminds me of a ship from Elite II - Frontier!

 

[Pangur Bán]

Em, I've not seen that.

BTW, check your PM Curt

When it lights up bright green at night, it looks really cool

If you like skyscrapers, at night, these two were pretty damn beautiful.
