Lots of cool buildings in there. I didn't see Denver's new art museum though:

Was the Guggenheim in Bilbao in there? It probably was. Gehry was pretty well represented in there.

Here's one of my old favorites:

I remember showing a picture of that house to a classmate in one of my structural classes and asking him, "Can you believe this building is over 75 years old?" And his (serious) reply was, "A fresh coat of paint will make anything look new." And I thought to myself, "And that's why you're studying civil engineering and not architecture..." :bang:

You know, that seemed pretty awesome... until they started talking about cutting a 50-metre-deep path through the centre of the island just to create a viewing channel. The bridge idea was kinda cool, especially with all the stuff between the two, but it's just not practical. This is why engineers will forever hate architects.
