      For me it's Sir Edwin Lutyen's design for Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, it would have had a vast dome higher than St Peter's in Rome. What was actually built was still unique but much smaller and more modern looking.

    Ugh. Soldier Field. Ironically like their QB situation, that renovation was always good in theory... and horrible on execution. The most impressive government building I've seen is Hoover Dam! Completed ahead of schedule and under budget. When does that ever happen?! Still helping power some of California, so it's ACTUALLY useful too-

    One of Australia’s most iconic buildings? I’d probably say the opera house is our only iconic building 🤣

      The Sidney Harbour Bridge is also fairly iconic. Though it is a bit overshadowed by the neighboring Sydney Opera House.

      @@maneatingcheeze not really a building thou .. Sydney Tower is probably the 2nd most recognisable building of Australia .. Flinders st station and Parliament House are probably next but none of these buildings are that famous.

      @@stussysinglet Bridges are buildings. Anything built by man that is not terrain modification, i.e. canals or levies, can be considered a building.

      @@maneatingcheeze so I'm willing to agree there are different definitions and perceptions .. I would say bridges are generally not considered buildings instead they are structures... I did a quick search on the dictionary/ encyclopaedia definitions and no mention of them being labelled as buildings.

    1 of the reasons why the white house 1 wasnt built was bc it looked more like a palace that a king would live in and considering we fought a revolution and became a republic instead a Monarchy would have made it seem crazy

    The depiction of "cities of the future" used to be popular, but as Disney's "Tomorrowland" movie shows, society has become more pessimistic.
    What do you think of the Appleseed's (anime and manga) Olympus cityscape? Specifically, the huge arched buildings covered in what appears to be solar panels.

    Very interesting but good thing for this is that future will be decided by customers. RUclips analysis is not taken in consideration. When cities sees loses in this project thy will have cold feet. Unless they fall for PR. Everything is possible.
