Do you have a favourite piece of architecture-still standing or long gone?

Crumlin Viaduct for me.Sadly long demolished.

I think that a lot of modern architecture is not much more than a 'ego trip' for the architect. I can't say that this is my favourite - far from it, but it is the new Victoria & Albert museum in Dundee. It's probably about the worst museum that I have visited! Little more than a large empty space with a very expensive cafe and virtually no exhibits.

Alongside is the RSS Discovery - Scott's Atlantic survey ship. Now, that's a real work of art and craftsmanship.

Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera or "The stone quarry", a reference to its unconventional rough-hewn appearance, is a modernist building in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was the last private residence designed by architect Antoni Gaudí and was built between 1906 and 1912.
