Here a few of my illustrations of some of my favourite buildings - I'm sure that most of you will have no problems naming all 16 - and for a bonus point you can probably guess who's my favourite architect.

BTW I only do illustrations of buildings that i've visited or seen up close, i think it's pretty cool to get an idea of how they all measure up to each other (they're almost to scale)

Your manchester diagram is cool - you'll probably recognise a couple of these buildings too…

The Eiffel tower should be larger normally.. (324m)

I drew them in illustrator, i'm currently attempting to do the whole of canary wharf - including roads, docks and the DLR, it's gonna be a while before it's finished though - i was down there yesterday evening taking some snaps as a guide - i'll probably post a couple of them in the urban photo contest next week

Hey, cool thread, i like that and im a big Foster fan too, but you made a big mistake in the first skyline, for me as a Frankfurt guy its horrible to see the Commerzbank as aquarter whith 4 (rounded ) corners.
It only has THREE, watch some pictures of it!!!!!

9- the atom, brussels

Actually, it is called the "Atomium", not the Atom. :)

Nice drawings, though the on Berliner Fernsehturm, the "ball" is only just over half way up (tho' lots of models and pictures get that wrong)

They are soo cute!:D
Great job there!
