None in the USA: The world’s most beautiful buildings

[mfcorey1]

Straight away we’ll say that this isn’t a top 10 list – there are just far too many styles of buildings, each worthy of a top 50. Instead, this is a list showing the variety of architectural beauty across the globe – and pointing you in the direction of some unforgettable photographic opportunities. To start, we’re calling out Frank Gehry’s Museo Guggenheim in the northern Spanish city of Bilbao. With its ribbonlike sheets of titanium and its collection of interconnecting blocks, the museum gives a nod to Bilbao’s industrialism. Oh yeah…nearly forgot. There’s art inside, too.

1. The US doesn't have any of the worlds most beautiful buildings? We must totally suck. nt

2. Well,

Like most of these list things, it's just an opinion or collection of opinions. So I will add mine.... We do have at least one beautiful building here and I call it home. It may not make any list from the so called or self proclaimed experts, but it works for me.

6. Why can't we be more like them!?

I wanna be more like THEM! They're enlightened! They're civilized! And dangit, their buildings are prettier!

We need to strive to be more like THEM.

3. Hey, but we have 3000 extra army tanks sitting in a parking lot somewhere that we do not want

or need. Thank you to our bought and paid for government and our ignorant populace.

4. One travel writer's top 10 doesn't include US

buildings. China, Japan, and sub-Saharan Africa are also not represented,

Guggenheim is not even the most beautiful in Spain--Alhambra wins that one.

12. Beuty does indeed reside in the eye of the beholder.

To me that thing looks like post-earthquake modern.

7. Hard to top Thornecrown Chapel near Eureka Springs, Ark

to much ignorance concerning this beautiful building that was awarded the prize of most notable piece of american architecture built in the 1980's....all materials were hand carried into the building site and the cost of under $250,000

8. Aesthetics are the opposite of efficiency.

10. Can't give you any beautiful buildings from La Crosse, WI....they've all been torn down....

One of the most beautiful was the courthouse.....what city in their right mind destroys their courthouse?? and then there was the post office.....gone. It's sickening how terrible this city destroyed all the beauty that this city once had.
