Some of them are cool.. I like th books :) The gerkin has now become the Hallmark of the City of London.

Not as odd as them but the new Chelmsford Citidel is 'orrible. You have to see it to actually appreciate it's uglyness :

Some of those are amazing. I love Kansas Public Library's design :) Really original.

I can't admit to designing anything quite as extravagent as this yet, but I'm more of a fan of site responsive design anyway :)

I also have a great interest in Experiential Architecture and so love the Blur Building- what a fantastic sensory experience!

Some of those buildings are quite freaky. I remember seeing a program a while back on Frank Ghary (?) and his curvacious and dynamic forms.

That new building in Dubai should be in that list as well. It looks like a giant toy.

My house should be on that. We have children plastered into the walls!

I think "sculptured house" was one of the locations in Woody Allens' "Sleeper".

I remember a lot of those from my Architecture days, even visited a few too.

They've also forgotten Selfridges in Birmingham !
