The Za-Koenji Public Theatre designed by Japanese architect Toyo Ito, is an impressive black volume in the middle of the city of Suginami in Tokyo, Japan.

Antoni Gaudi....think his work is awful but it is apart history none the less.
The first picture is of the Sagrada Família, a church that has been under construction since 1883 and is only due to be completed in 2026!


The second picture is of Casa Batlló built in 1877. believe it or not but it is mostly constructed out of ordinary bricks!

I cannot stand her work. most of it looks like it came from a Star Trek movie, and not in a good way!
