Architecture - My Favourite Buildings







Due to the fact that I am in the throws of selling my house I have been interested in people's comments on it. So many viewers have remarked that they have always loved this house when they have passed by and as it is on a main road it is very visable. So it got me thinking about what my favourite buildings were. Well here they are. Whenever I look at these buildings they just give me that buzz. Yes New York you have got two mentions but how could you not.
The one with a roof like a cauliflower is the Secession Building in Vienna, the tall red brick and glass building is on the River Tyne and was an old flour mill before being turned into a fantastic art gallery called The Baltic. The Chrysler Building is art deco at its best. The Colosseum in Rome is vast, old and beautiful. The Flatiron building in New York is just what it says on the tin but my all time favourite is
Sacré Coeur in Paris it is so white and on a sunny day against a blue sky it looks unreal, I could stand and stare at it for hours and the views from it over Paris are stunning.
