- It takes a lot to make a building. It takes more to put artistic effort into it. Who marvels about the regular old brick and mortar, square houses and offices we see all the time? Instead, let’s take a look at some of the most innovative architectural masterpieces humankind has ever completed.

8. Eiffel Tower
When Parisians first saw the Eiffel Tower, many thought it was an eyesore. Now, it’s become a symbol of the city of light's romantic aura. This wrought-iron lattice tower rises from the grounds of the Champs de Mars (shamp duh mar). You can find the restaurants on the first and second levels. The uppermost platform you can reach is 906 feet or 276 meters above ground. While yes, there is a staircase to the top, most people opt to use the elevator.
7. Senedd (sen ehthe)
The Senedd, the National Assembly buildings of Wales, is located in Cardiff. Queen Elizabeth II opened the committee center in 2006. Senedd measures 57,100 square feet or 5,038 square meters in area. It contains a debating chamber and three large meeting rooms. It certainly looks interesting outside, but if this building is known for anything, it’s what’s inside. The most well-known area is the public sitting and exhibition area which showcases a glass floor and an undulating ceiling made from Western Redcedar timber.
6. Hagia Sophia (eye ah sofia)
It was once a Greek Orthodox Christian cathedral which then turned into an Ottoman Imperial mosque. Nowadays, it is a museum. Located in Istanbul, Turkey, the Hagia Sophia attracts 3.3 million visitors every year and was Turkey’s most visited tourist attraction in 2015. Byzantine Emperor Justinian I ordered the building of the cathedral in 532. Brick makes up the entire structure aside from the four marble pillars outside.
5. Taj Mahal
Here’s another favorite world monument with four pillars outside! The Taj Mahal is composed of white marble and is situated in the city of Agra, India. Many people mistake the Taj Mahal for a palace when, in fact, it’s a mausoleum. Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned the project as a resting place for his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Inside is not only tombs but also a mosque, guest house, and gardens. UNESCO cited the Taj Mahal as the “jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world’s heritage.”
4. Leaning Tower of Pisa
No architecture list is complete without the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Everybody loves to come here to take a novelty photograph against this free-standing bell tower because of its four-degree lean. Why does it do that? The foundation on which the Tower of Pisa stands on is unstable. One side has softer ground and cannot support the weight, which causes the tilt.
3. Lotus Temple
We think you can take a wild guess as to why it’s called the Lotus Temple. This breathtaking house of worship was is designated for the Bahá'í (buh hi) faith, a religion that teaches the worth of all religions, meant to establish world unity. The Lotus Temple is in New Delhi, India. It opened in 1986.
2. Gardens By The Bay
Nothing else looks quite like the alien-like landscape of Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. Located next to the Marina Reservoir in the Central Region of Singapore, Gardens by the Bay is a 250-acre or 101-hectare group of gardens that houses the largest glass greenhouse on Earth. This is a photo of Cloud Forest, which replicates the cool and moist conditions of tropical mountain regions in Southeast Asia and South America.

How can a list like this not include The Palace of Versailles
My top ten favourite buildings in the world include Sagrada Familia in Barcelona and the Grand white mosque in Abu Dhabi.
Thanks🙏
My fav is fallingwater i feel in love w it the first time i saw it💗💘
THIS LIST. IS. WILD.
Your reference to the Guggenheim Museum confuses images of the original Guggenheim in New York, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, and the Guggenheim Bilbao, designed by Frank Gehry.
I noticed that too. I guess Franks are good at designing Guggenheims.
Yeah thought I was getting confused thank you
@@Alfosan2010 hahaha
THAT WAS A HUGE HUGE MISTAKE. SO WRONG! ONE WAS WRIGHT, ONE WAS GEHRY
I expected the Sagrada la Familia to be the top one, weird it wasn't even mentioned.
Space Needle Gang!!!!!
What an experience it was seeing the Sydney Opera house in person back in 2017,I will never forget 😍💗
Also I am lucky to have visited Taj Mahal and the feeling was amazing.
my favourite architechture is the convention centre on the river liffey dublin
i like it too but much cooler stuff exists
my favourite was lotus temple
how many people noticed: @ 09:05 the number 6 is shown but the narrator says 8 ...
I had to watch this for school...
When limiting the number to 26, there will be many architectural wonders overlooked. For example, Antonio Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia and Julia Morgan’s Hearst Castle.
BTW, Julia Morgan completed over 700 architectural projects during her 40+ year career ( more than Frank Lloyd Wright ).
would be much better without all those pop ups interfering while trying to look at the architecture
Where’s the Innovation you are talking about?
This is not about architecture
You are only showing the most popular buildings at a tourist destination.
Why are they the most popular tourist attraction?
Your Rude
Exactly. I was expecting Louis Kahn, Le corbusier works
Wow! So cool!
In Curitiba, Brazil there is a art museum named in the honor of Oscar Niemeyer, it is the name of MON or the “eye museum” . Gorgeous and worth the research to it!
6:36 You're showing two different museums! The white one is in NYC and designed by Wright.
Amazing
Here in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, USA, we have a giant stone claw thingy. Nobody knows the meaning of it, but we keep it anyway because our collective confusion has become a running joke and we've grown attached to it.
Thankyou
اللي عرضتو تعتبر أعمال رائعة جدا
لكن أين أعمال المهندسة المبدعة الله يرحمها

I went to the Seattle space needle in 2021 for the first time and it’s nothing special it looks better than the actual experience and overpriced tickets

I never liked that wretched eyesore in Moscow, too cartoonish to be tasteful. It belongs in Vegas or Disneyland, if anywhere at all.

Is the presenter a six year old boy? I cant bear to listen to this commentary!
Pieter Uys: you hate 6 year old boys talking?
@@zion-pikin5968 I don't need to be given a lecture by a childlike adult who gabbles through the script with zero presentation skills.
The gates of San Martin park, Mendoza, Argentina.
I live in Vancouver Canada. With a few exceptions it is an architectural wasteland of glass, steel and concrete 'shoeboxes'. Few pre-1900 non-wooden structures exist. Only one pre-1886 wooden structure, Hastings Mill Store (1865), survived Vancouver's great fire. Vancouver's greatest architect, Bing Thom, did most of his best work in other cities. Vancouver's most overrated architect, Arthur Erickson, left a mess of ugly, dysfunctional buildings throughout metro Vancouver. Fortunately, his 'urinal' at Granville @ Robson was retrofitted to more closely resemble a department store; alas, nothing could ever improve nearby Robson Square - except a wrecking ball.
What about the K'aba's haram and the prophet's mosque?

Tem uma arquitetura cujo a forma tem duas inspirações.

You forget Parthenon in Athens Greece..
Please language problem video Hindi
WTF no Borobudur temple in this list????
You got huge mistake.
0:45 this video would be a lot better if you would have stopped overlaying pics of maps or other photos over the actual buildings you're talking about LOL
Now that’s what I call nice modern architect! not boxy and boring.
Not many of these conform to Vitruvian principles and are far from impressive.
Please don't tell me you are even remotely surprised that these days not all buildings have to follow principles written before christ
no i agree to this old comment 100%. Some of them are bland or unstable.
die indios hatten wieder mal nichts zu zeigen
Not a good video.
the Giza pyramids were not built by the Dynastic Egyptians...there is no evidence to support that absurd theory...the Giza pyramids are more likely to have been built by the same civilization as built the Sphinx, which is geologically placed 10 to 12 thousand years ago...
lawrencehearn2000 no evidence to support that either.
@@mr.person2226 It is claimed that the Great Pyramid was built in 25 years, which means they quarried, moved several hundred miles, moved, lifted, placed a 20 ton stone every 2 minutes of every hour of every day of every month of every year for 25 years straight... Oh yea, and the Nile river is only high enough for ~3 or 4 months out of the year... All without the wheel, power tools, cranes. Sure dude, pull the other leg. It would would be a world wide project to do that today.
The babbling voice is just terrible.
