the AIA has a traveling exhibit that is really neat
I saw it at Tulsa international airport. The photography is great on the buildings,
It is the top 150 buildings all great with Number 1 being the empire state building, also included fallingwater,and Pierre Koenig case study , Louis I Kahn Exerter prep school , Mies Van der Rohe Seagram building, LeCorborsuier United Nations , several Frank lloyd wright homes , Richard Meier homes Frank Geherys Disney building and others by ,Michel Graves Historical American architects and modern architects like Santiago Calatrava and David M. Schwarz. William Lamb and Thomas Jefferson dot the favorites list,
and lots of others, check there web site where the exhibit is or coming to a neighbor hood near you, the American Airlines Center comes in at No. 118 on the list, while the state Capitol building ranks 92nd.
other Structures making the list ranged from the traditional, like the White House and Golden Gate Bridge, to the more modern Applestore Fifth Avenue in New York City and Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minn.
The exhibit construction itself is a story. Made of recycled plotter paper rolls, banners with large photographs of the structures are draped over the rolls.
we have done this before ...
we have done this before but list your favorite building
At the exhibit there were lots of state capital buildings and ,Washington monuments,
my favorite building listed and even if it were not
the Penzoil tower in Houston by Philip Johnson and John Burgee, two trapezoid towers seperated by a 10 foot space
I saw this building going up in Houston in 1974 and to me it is a great one,
