Pretty much whatever the last Frank Lloyd Wright piece I saw is my favourite.
I also like Gaudi and most Arabic architecture though. |

One of my favorite buildings is the Sendai Mediatheque, by Japanese architect Toyo Ito. It has these crazy tree looking columns that support the floor plates. A few of them even have elevators that travel through on angle.

True fact. | It's true- they used the aliens' GPS systems navigate from the quarrys to the building site, and tractor beams to get the blocks from point A to point B.
But I personally dig the rotating tower that they're wanting to put up in Dubai  |

The "shop" in Mesa, California, where the first amps were made by founder Randall Smith. Notice the spare outhouse door on the building.
