Marina Bay Sands
Architect: Moshe Safdie, “The Modernist”
Location: Singapore
The Marina Bay Sands was built like a pile of playing cards. As one of the most expensive hotels in the world, it has the world’s longest rooftop swimming pool, designed as an endless pool and decorated with palm trees 57 floors above the ground. The whole structure cost 8 billion Singaporean dollars.
Sydney Opera House
Architect: Jørn Utzon, “The additive architect”
Location: Sydney, Australia
Architect Jørn Utzon won the Opera House international design competition after explaining that his design looked like a ship sails on the water. By the time it was opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1973, over 10,000 workers had been involved in its construction. The Concert Hall is always kept at 22.5 degrees Celsius when there is a performance, to keep instruments in perfect condition.
30 St Mary Axe
Architect: Norman Foster, “Hero of high-tech”
Location: London, the UK
The structure was built at the beginning of the 21st century and looks like a spaceship. Londoners think differently, having named it “The Gherkin” because it looks like a giant cucumber. It’s made up of 7,429 sheets of glass. The tower is scientifically designed so that the wind actually wraps around it, reducing its impact.
Stonehenge
Architect: Aliens?
Location: Salisbury, the UK
Stonehenge is over 5,000 years old, making it a Neolithic (新石器时代的) construction. Some of the giant stones were transported over 150 miles, but scientists and historians are still not really sure how.
