The V&A museum in Dundee. Little more than an empty shell with less exhibits than a junk shop - but architecturally striking.
It was supposed to represent a ship jutting out into the river Tay, but this presented problems. Then they decided to move it backwards, but this would have blocked the road.
So, they cut it in two and overlapped the two bits!

This is the Boldt Castle , in upstate New York. It was built in 1904, and then the owner’s wife died and he never came back. It sat for over 70 years, but has now been restored, so visitors can see the castle. There is a website online with more information, if anyone wants to see the inside and learn more about this amazing structure.

Here is something that I find extremely interesting. If you look online for these kinds of pictures, it seems like many of the cities all over the world have other layers hidden underneath the parts that we can see now, remnants of a much older civilization, maybe ?
This picture is of Paris, and you can see the ancient structure below the one that is visible nowadays, which in itself is an old building.

There are cities underneath cities in many countries. Turkey, I know for sure. If you do a Google search, you will come across quite a few.

One of Antoni Gaudi's buildings in Spain.
A Catalan architect known as the greatest exponent of Catalan Modernism. Gaudí's works have a highly individualized, one-of-a-kind style. Most are located in Barcelona

When I go to the waterfront park in Hoboken, N.J. which is across from New York City, I would see this gleaming triangular structure and wondered what it was built for. I couldn't see the details of it from where I go in the park. Here's part of the description from an article about 25 architectural masterpieces from 2016. "The design wraps, pyramid-like, around an internal courtyard bathed in natural light. It’s a combination skyscraper-courtyard building. BIG calls it…drumroll please… a courtscraper."

I fell in love withe the United States Pavilion, 1964 World's Fair in NYC. Visually it was a stunning building. But the building marked where architecture was in 1962. The materials, color, form of the building dates that building to 1962. Sadly, the building was supposed to remain after the fair; but while it was vacant, extensive vandalism doomed the building.
