    Impressive! Dubai seems to have a love for unusual looking skyscrapers.

    Kinkakuji Temple... incredible; its history includes a mad monk and gold leaf. I've been in love with Japanese gardens and design for most of my life, hence my poem Beneath the Dogwoods of May which was inspired by a poem by "breathtest" of LitNet of old (with a nod to the poets "hack" and "Hawkman", also of LitNet past/present... http://www.online-literature.com/for...by-breathtest- )
    Lavelaer... how delightful !!!

    Even if a fable fiction, it always strikes me like kind of Gaudi meets Saint Petersburg when walking through it.

    Olympic House, Vidy, Lausanne-Video not available here but found pics in the net. A impressive building, but it reminded me of the yet to be this year Japanese Olympics.
    The Price Tower-interesting design.

    Queen's Park, Maryborough (Australia)

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen%...k,_Maryborough (The band rotunda got me. Each Brazilian village has to have its own, with or without park).

    Cool...
    Wright nicknamed the Price Tower, which was built on the Oklahoma prairie, "the tree that escaped the crowded forest," referring not only to the building's construction, but also to the origins of its design. The Price Tower is supported by a central "trunk" of four elevator shafts which are anchored in place by a deep central foundation, as a tree is by its taproot. The nineteen floors of the building are cantilevered from this central core, like the branches of a tree. The outer walls hang from the floors and are clad in patinated copper "leaves." The building is asymmetrical, and like a tree, "looks different from every angle."... Wikipedia
