The main buildings of the modern world that can hit and a seasoned traveler.
Architecture may well be recognized as one of the most impressive art forms.
People never knew how to be content with the usual roof over my head: even cavemen tried to make their shelter of some form. In addition, architecture is the only art practical, tangible; trail on the Ground, able to hold more than one thousand years.
Holy Family Cathedral. Barcelona. The guru of modernist architecture of Antoni Gaudi did not live to see the completion of his main masterpiece. Actually, Sagrada Familia is still in the stage of completion of the project – but the scaffolding only give this strange Cathedral charm is a fabulous Narnia.
Ribbon Chapel. Japan. In the chapel (and you that thought?) attracts couples from all over Japan to hold a wedding ceremony in one of the most unusual churches in the world is worth any travel.
Marina City. Chicago. In 1964, the majestic building of Marina City made a splash – and now it oriented many contemporary architects. The internal layout is fully consistent with the appearance.
Turninn. Reykjavik. So few are able to seamlessly weave manmade in the natural landscape. The project architect wanted to reflect the wild beauty of Iceland, which, however, visibly, and without comment.
Berghain. Berlin. Berlin has long been considered the main capital of modern electronic music. Building Berghain, the best club in the city, can be called a real symbol of the classical school of Bauhaus.
The Golden pavilion. Kyoto. Yukio Mishima devoted to the Golden temple, one of his best books. In Japanese tradition, architectural integration into the environment is one of the oldest ideals – it is not surprising that the skill of a master architect so inspired the great writer.
The Blue Mosque. Istanbul. By the early 1600s the Ottoman Empire was at its peak of its power. Then was built the famous Blue Mosque, whose majestic dome, the finest towers of the minarets and the interior are striking to this day.
Golden Temple. India. This stunning building as if fell into the river from outer space: bright, catchy, typical for Asian countries, the architectural style of the Golden Temple does not cause rejection and the more restrained Europeans – one glance is enough to appreciate the depth of the plan of the architect.
Las Lajas Sanctuary. Colombia. The sanctuary of Colombian Catholics as if defying the gravity. Built on a small cliff, the building looks quite decent dwelling for the Holy spirit.
Neuschwanstein. Germany. A real fairytale castle stands deep in the forests of Bavaria and a magnet for tens of thousands of tourists from around the world. Walt Disney himself was so impressed with Neuschwanstein, which added its features to your own Sleeping Beauty castle.
