Haha out of all those, I've only seen one (The Eden Project, in the UK, it's on page 2). I haven't seen the NZ one. I thought Bahrain would have had one, there is this bank, which is a glass building, and on the bottom half, one quarter is missing, it looks like it's going to fall down at any second haha. How many have you people seen? Quite a few are in the US.

Some are dumb but some look pretty cool.
The Killam Libary
By far the ugliest building in Halifax, and where I have one of my classes
The architect committed suicide by jumping off it because they fucked up what he wanted done so badly.

I liked 1, 4, 6, 7, 14, and 27.
The only ones I've seen in real life are the Fuji Telivision and Luxor.

29, they are thinking about making houses out of old shipping containers..that would be sweet.
Kansas city library was cute, 27 on part two is sweet looking. Most of them are pretty cool.

Some of the pictures don't load on my computer so I didn't notice that I see the Shoe house maybe once every other month. I think it isn't there anymore, or maybe I just don't notice it anymore.

The UCSD Geisel Library is so cool. It's the only real library to be featured on a sci-fi movie with the movie being 2001 A Space Odyssey. Sorry, but I found that out on a tour I took when I was staying with my cousin who goes to UCSD
