Favorite Pieces of Architecture

This one is fitting for me, considering I’m an architecture student.  My  biggest problem is narrowing it down.

From Patrick’s Weekender:

Name your seven favorite pieces of American architecture.
Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)

  1. Falling Waters: Frank Lloyd Wright
  2. Gugenheim:  Frank Lloyd Wright
  3. Detroit Museum of Science:  Santiago Calatrava
  4. Seattle Space Needle: John Graham
  5. Disney Concert Hall:  Frank O. Gehry
  6. Church of the Epiphay, Miami, Fl:  Hilario Candela

  • Congrats on being first last week on the Sunday Seven. I really couldn’t answer this question. I know the famous building when I see them, but not necessarily who the architect was. De ;)

  • Thank you! I’m an architecture student, so I have to study these buildings and many others, and these are the ones that I found that are able to make the list because they’re just so beautiful and so different. There was actually one that didn’t make the list that should have (simply because I couldn’t remember the name of it and I should be ashamed of that), which is the Salk Institute by Loui Kahn in La Joya, California, and it is another magnificent structure.
