Montreal's Olympic Stadium. Tallest non-90 degrees structure in the world

Maybe not the building but the place...Sponfeldner Appartments in Bad gastain, Austria

pretty much all the buildings near st-petersburg...I wanted to put peterhof too..Here's Catherine Palace

this partucular style of soviet architecture.

Copenhagen waterfront...also somewhat identical in Stockholm

Cathare Castles in France. here : Puilarens

Its actually my dream to go to st-petersburg...I could have post at least 20 buildings but i guess other members would have been fed up...

Its solid rock...no landslide with rock like that

That's Swiss Re, aka "The Gherkin".

ok nice...it also look like a suppository. I guess the Gherkin is better

Some more buildings from Greece:

-Castle of the knights of st. John hospitaler, in Rhodes:

-The meteora:

-Some monasteries in mount Athos, unfortunately still dwelled by priests/monks

-The unfinished temple of the Olympian Zeus, in Athens (the temple was never completed, but it would have been really massive)

From Millenium Park in Chicago

Cloud Gate, aka "The Bean"

Pritzker Pavillion

 

[Urederra]

Is the bean new? I didn't see it when I went to Chicago some three years ago.

It's about two years old. If you were there three years ago, you would have seen a walled-off construction site on lower Michigan Ave.

Here's a little collage of images from The Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, northern Sweden. The pictures are old since the hotel melts away each spring and a new hotel is rebuilt every winter in December.

You can see the exterior, some of the rooms, a corridor to the bar, the chapell and the Ice Globe Theatre.

 

[Urederra]

That is the coolest structure posted yet, Ingvina.

I think the build something similar every year in Minneapolis, but I have never bothered to go over there to see it. I just go to the Mall of America, and not very often.

Coolest yet... Very good Urederra! Very good!

That is something I would like to SEE. But who would pay $300+ to freeze their asses off all night in a big igloo?

 

[NKVD]

they also build one each year in Quebec City for the winter Carnival...bigger than this one for sure

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

The Petronas Towers

The Taj Mahal

The Red Fort

The Sistine Chapel

 

[Eran of Arcadia]

It still annoys me to no end that the Petrona Towers are considered taller than the Sears Tower, just because they used an arbitrary way to judge where the top is.

It's all about who's got the largest tadger anyway, forget about it, great structures aren't usually about who's got the largest member. Look at the religious structures, they're about who's put the most effort into finding God, not some pointless I've got the biggest penis in the world.

I can build the biggest structure in the world but can I make it the most beautiful?

 

[Maniacal]

The people in the theater, they look like penguins!

Admittedly, the Petrona Towers look cooler than the Sears Tower. But then, I have actually seen the Sears Tower, hence my concern.

But you are right, I think. I have seen some pretty ugly box megachurches, and some pretty impressive tiny chapels.
