I would have said the guggenheim before I saw it, but after being there I'm just filled with loathe. Hyped up piece of poo!! =D
I luuurve that new york building you see in all the pictures... shaped kind of like a triangle (pictures are always taken from the sharp end) with rounded corners... no idea what it's called though

The museum is the Guggenheim, the city Bilbao  (also an ugly city until they builded the museum. now it's getting nicer and nicer)
I have to agree with Lunatique about Gaudi. I just hope I can see the Sagrada Familia (Sacred Family?) ended before I pass away.
Also, N�tre Dame, Eiffel Tower, the Coliseum, San Pietro In Promontorio (I don't know if I wrote that right), and the Vaticano. If you haven't been there, go. It's just amazing.
Well, many more I can't remember right now. Most of them from Paris and Italy (Venice, Florence, Rome).

Anything Gothic (mmmm... flying buttresses....). Also the Gugenheim in Bilbao, or Gugenheim 2: The Revenge as I like to call it. The Hagia Sophia is nice. My dorm building gets the vote for most stinkiest however.

I LOVE Vancouver's Orpheum Theater. Also, the old Woodwards building.
You have to see it...(both)

This may sound rather mundane, but the residential buildings in SoHo NYC. They just seem to have so much more character than the skyscrapers.
Oh, and great choice Giant Hamster  . |

Giant Hamster: I'd say that's N�tre Dame, due to the big buildings that are in the horizon. I don't remember seeing buildings that big in Florence or Rome.
Oh, and this gotta be the most beautiful fountain you've ever seen.

1.) The cathedral-type glass building in Toronto that's connected to the Hockey Hall of Fame. I think they shot a music video there once. Crap, I wish I knew what it was called. It's amazing how they incorporated the old stone architecture on the inside behind glass. Only went there once, but I loved it.
2.) The Pantheon. So amazing... almost ethereal the way the light comes in through the oculus in the ceiling.
3.) There's this really cool old brick building in downtown Sackville. It has about 5 sets of double doors on the upper floors that lead to nowhere. I've made pictures of them from the outside, but I'd really like to see if I could open them from inside and take a couple looking out. Probably not, but I'll have to run down there one day and see. Plus it has a really awesome fire escape!
