Fascinating Photos of Architecture

Humans are constantly building new buildings around the globe. Because of the prevalence of buildings in our landscapes, architectural designers are putting more emphasis on not only making structurally sound buildings, but also making them visually appealing and interesting.

In order to save space in urban environments, many buildings are getting taller and taller, with different cities competing to have the world’s tallest building. But not all buildings have to be tall in order to be interesting. Using unique geometry, angles and architecture, even small buildings can draw the eye, and even become landmarks such as the Sydney Opera House.
