Bauhaus in Dessau-Roßlau
One of important place in 20c architecture history. Not too far from Berlin or Leipzig. The building is still cool after 50 years of time.
La Chapelle de Romchamp in Ronchamp
One of the most beautiful architecture in history. Le Corbusier's masterpiece. It's quite hard to get there. Rent-a-car is the way to go.
Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan
This is a Frank Lloyd Wright's work in Manhattan. Very easy to access, the art collection is great, and fun to experience the structure(slope).
Seagram Building in Manhattan
A building on Park Ave. designed by Mies! You cannot be in the building as this is a regular office building, but you can enjoy the beautiful facade from the street.
Kansai Airport in Izumisano
Kansai airport is one of the place where it worths to see the terminal building. This was designed by Renzo Piano.
The British Museum in Camden
Yes, this is the British Museum, but it is also a must-see in terms of its architecture.
Centre Pompidou in Paris
I don't understand modern art, but I love the futuristic building of Pompidou Center.
Reichstag in Berlin
This is the perliament building of German republic and renovated in 1999 by Norman Foster. The tour let you go to the top of the building.
Hundertwasserhaus in Vienna
You can get to the Hundertwasserhaus with a few minutes tram trip in Vienna.
Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo in Kōtō
A comtemporary museum in east part of Tokyo. Their exhibits are actually pretty interesting and I've been there a few times. The building is worth to see. The architect is Takahiko Yanagisawa.
