11 Binoculars Building, Venice, Los Angeles, California

Image

Even though its original name was the Chiat/Day building, it didn't take long for people to start referring to it as "The Binoculars building." Can you really blame them? The giant binoculars, however, are not a structure but an art piece by Claes Oldenburg and serve as an addition to the structure itself.

12 Weisman Art Museum In Minneapolis, Minnesota

It's rare to find an abstract piece of art based in the physical world, but this fascinating construction is located at the University of Minnesota campus and in an expression of that art style.

13 Art Gallery Of Ontario, Toronto, Canada

Frank Gehry was 79 in 2008, the year he finally finished his first-ever Canadian project, and in Toronto, the city he was born in.

14 Foundation Louis Vuitton, Paris, France

The Louis Vuitton Foundation is both a museum and a cultural center that resides in Paris. This master structure took 3,600 glass panels and 19,000 concrete panels to for this almost ship-like structure.

15 Richard B. Fisher Center, Annandale-On-Hudson, New York

Image

This metallic looking center has been described as the "best small concert hall in the United States." Even though it may look quite small from the front, it actually contains 2 theaters and several rehearsing sound studios. The building is also very green, built to demand the minimum of power and not to rely on fossil fuels.
