I like the Burj al-Arab Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

'nuff said, through the picture is a few years out of date.

Does anyone think there might be an "aspie" architectural preference?  I really can't think of one, but I thought I'd throw the question out to the board.

Great Ziggurat of Ur, Iraq

Ziggurats are apparently the oldest big buildings ever made as far as I know.

Stalinist Architecture is my personal favorite style.

It has a certain gothic/baroque soullessness to it...all made of concrete of course.

That's a beautiful building.

I live just near this one:

There are two very impressive cathedrals near where I live.

Lincoln Cathedral.



And Southwell Minster.




I love the stone carvings found inside the Cathedrals.
I had my confirmation at Southwell Minister.

I like the Bell South tower in Nashville, Tennessee (the one with the two spires at the top).

Quinlan Terry is my favourite British architect.

Albert Speer and Karl Frederich Shinkel was pretty good too, but I also like some Bauhaus.

Stalinist architecture is nice, North Korea has some interesting buildings too.

I also quite like modern skyscrapers, I love the uniform nature of them.

I definitely like Victor Horta's architecture. I have book about his architecture which I obsessed about some time ago:
