Wonderful Architecture

Q4: What is the most unusual, unique or unforgettable building you've seen on The Road Less Travelled? @BradtGuides @junkkdna #TRLT Harpa, the Reykjavik concert hall is beautiful - how it's informed by the geology around it.
A4: The Pineapple in Dunmore has to be up there! Has anyone else ever spotted any food-shaped buildings? https://t.co/YWHIBdFlHs #TRLT
A4: Portmeirion, N Wales. A unique, brilliant pastiche of Italian fishing villages, with Arts & Crafts, Classical and Palladian influences, false perspectives, fake windows, life-size figurines. A 'home for fallen buildings' rescued from elsewhere. @BradtGuides @junkkdna #TRLT
A4 #TRLT My turn to say Sydney Opera House. I had always wanted to see it & felt very fortunate to go inside.
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4. Matsumoto Castle is a Japanese castle that is over 400 years old and you can walk in the inside. It sees many multitudes of tourists but it’s still unforgettable as it’s one of the only “original” castles still standing in Japan. 🗺: https://t.co/anpGUjGjo8 #TRLT
A4: In Benin, Voodoo temples come in all shapes and sizes – this one in Abomey takes the form of a chameleon! https://t.co/grIoKiiRMt #TRLT
A4: Nur-Sultan in Kazakhstan has plenty of buildings that could be used to answer this question - but I'll choose just one -the Kazakhstan Central Concert Hall. #TRLT
A4 The Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao certainly was a fascinating building to visit. #TRLT @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 @JLipowski @heidiSiefkas @pip_says @Touchse @BradtGuides @junkkdna

A4: Kosovo's National Library, located in Prishtina, is easily one of the country's most interesting sights, but some lists rank it among the ugliest buildings in the world! Love it or hate it, it's definitely unforgettable! What are your thoughts? #TRLT https://t.co/8FtCPN7Z2g

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4: can't find a photo just now, but the downtown Moscow buildings are quite good. They have a twisty one. https://t.co/j3vHmuopmf. In addictionary, their subways are very well designed. #trlt
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4: on assignment for the Montreal Gazette, I stayed In a private home in a small Arctic village. It was surreal: an entertainment unit on one wall, nothing but snow and ice through the window and no toilet but a “honey bucket.” #trlt

A4: The excavations at Akrotiri, Santorini, 🇬🇷, of 3-storied, plastered, and frescoed houses from the Bronze Age, destroyed by the C.16th BC eruption. No 📷, so here’s some modern dwellings carved into the rock rather than being buried by it.

A4 How about the Dancing House in Prague? #TRLT @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 @JLipowski @heidiSiefkas @pip_says @Touchse @BradtGuides @junkkdna

A4- The size of the #Colosseum in #Rome has always left a lasting impression on me
#trlt #travelingsession
A4: The Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum is something that really struck me. It was in operation up until the mid-90s, it’s a MASSIVE cluster of buildings, and the history behind it is fascinating though heartbreaking. #trlt https://t.co/HOUIV4iKVA

A4. What is the most unusual, unique or unforgettable building you've seen on The Road Less Travelled? Finally being able to enter the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. It wasn't open when I first visited 40 years ago!

A4: Another unforgettable library can be found in Minsk. Apparently, the correct term for its geometric shape is a rhombicuboctahedron. https://t.co/ejVNNIrqwl #TRLT

A4. I will never forget Gao Miao Temple in Zhongwei, China, combines elements of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and even Christianity. So colorful, fun to explore & bizarre underground neon Hell, showing all kind of everlasting torture. #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4 This one in Osaka was unusual #trlt
A4 One of the very last things I visited (just for its architecture) was this hotel in the Netherlands, ten mins from #Amsterdam. This sounds like I died, no, no, because of the virus and travel restrictions. #TRLT
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4: This is the stunning view down to the escalators at Toledo in Naples, dubbed the most beautiful subway station in Europe. #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4: First I thought of the folks homes I stumbled across in Tana Toraja, Celebes. Second think was the amazon sphere's, or as we call them here in my neck of the woods, Jeff Bezos' balls 🤣 LOL! #trlt CTTOs.
replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4: 🥰 Haut-Koenigsbourg on the top of a hill in France looks like a knights and dragons movie set! It's medieval architecture is amazing and the surrounding wood looks as a fairy tale! #TRLT
replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @BradtGuides @junkkDNA A4) The Environmental Museum in Panama City Panama, it was designed by Frank Gehry and with the bottom floor open to the public it is a welcomed spot to get out of the heat & humidity while learning something about the environment at the same time. #TRLT

A4: The Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem may be the most memorable architecture I've encountered (I'm a sucker for domes). #TRLT
A4 #TRLT I was quite shocked by the National Parliament in Bucharest #Romania . Monument to the ego of a brutal dictator that is larger than the Pentagon in the USA.
