Architecture Linked - Architect & Architectural Social Network

Vanity Fair published a survey asking experts what the best works of architecture completed since 1980. I thought the list was interesting.


  1. Guggenheim Museum - Frank Gehry
  2. Menil Collection - Renzo Piano
  3. Thermal Baths - Peter Zumthor
  4. HSBC Building - Norman Foster
  5. Seattle Central Library - OMA
  6. Mediatheque Building - Toyo Ito
  7. Neue Staatsgalerie - James Stirling
  8. Church of the Light - Tadao Ando
  9. Vietnam Veterans Memorial - Maya Lin
  10. Millau Viaduct - Norman Foster
  11. Jewish Museum - Daniel Libeskind
  12. Lloyd's Building - Richard Rogers
  13. Bird's Nest Stadium - Herzog & de Meuron
  14. CCTV Building - OMA
  15. Casa da Musica - OMA
  16. Cartier Foundation - Jean Nouvel
  17. BMW Welt - COOP Himmelblau
  18. Nelso Atkins Museum Addition - Steven Holl
  19. Cooper Union Building - Thomas Mayne
  20. Parc de la Villette - Bernard Tschumi
  21. Yokohama Port Terminal - FOA
  22. Saint Pierre Church - Le Corbusier
I think there's quite a few works missing from this list that should be there, not to mention there's not one work from either Alvaro Siza or Zaha Hadid. What do you think?
