The New Wonders of the World

Condé Nast Traveler has named 6 architectural marvels the “New Wonders of the World”:
Form plus function is Architecture 101. But a building that not only is a bright spark on the landscape but also has a surface as idiosyncratic as its structure, well, that’s Architecture 2010. The year that film embraced a third dimension, architecture found a fourth: texture.
While they by no means replace (or in some cases even compare to) the “original” Wonders of the World, they are an inviting glimpse into what future generations might look back upon in awe. Read more about these amazing places in the original article here.
