The most beautiful building in the world
May I have your vote for the most beautiful building in the world? It doesn't necessarily have to be an edifice that's currently in existence. I'll refrain from giving my vote for the time being, so as not to influence anyone or rain on anyone's parade.

@RobLawrence the story of how it came to be is also an interesting read. Someone working for FB bought it IIRC.
Almost any Denny’s. Especially if I’m on.the road and it’s time to eat. Beautiful sight.

@RobLawrence They were great. Every now and then we’d pass under the one in Chicago, stretching over the freeway, and had to stop. Tradition.

@RobLawrence right? I visited it when I was in Thailand almost 2 decades ago....in person, it is breath-taking
Notre-Dame (Paris, not Reims)
This really made me nostalgic for my art history notes. Once I finish my masters, I would love to teach art history.

I've always had a thing for the Chrysler Building with it's tiered triangular crown-like windows at its peak - especially at night.

@RobLawrence I was about to post this, because that's my favorite, too.
My favorite

I was just looking at images of the Sistine Chapel, and it was sensory overload for me. I was trying to remember one chapel from art history that had the dome with the trompe l'oeil of heaven and the layers of angels.
Pretty much anything by Tadao Ando. Try the-gasp-church of light as an example. Stunning in its simplicity and power.
Yes, I recognize my preference for austere is uncommon. Works for me.

Agreed.
@RobLawrence Very much.
I've looked, can't find the original, but well worth seeking out as are all of Svankmajer's works. (Quay Brothers also)
Very interested to see the answers you get!
