Countries with the best modern architecture?


Actually íll post this poll all over SSC, so I strongly encourage you not to vote in all of then, for example, if you are a Spaniard, you can vote on the Spanish forum poll, also on the general at the Euroscrapers domus, and at the International one at the Citytalk and Urban Issues forum, but you shouldńt go to the French Forum, Polish or Latin forum to vote in those polls too.

Sorry, but as you may know, there are just place for 15 options on the polls, so for sure ím leaving out many other countries that really deserve to be on the poll, in this cases, please, use the “OTHER” option and tell us about it. Thanks.

Remember DO NOT CHOOSE MORE THAN 3 COUNTRIES, please.

The poll will be open just 5 days.

UK
Germany
France

China
Poland
UK

US, Japan, Other

Spain, Poland, Dubai (the emirates???)

Mantaz, do you really think that Poland and UAE are better than e.g. Germany, Italy, Spain, USA, France or UK in terms of modern architecture? I could understand delfin_pl giving his vote for Poland... but you? :|

Didn't see enough samples of architecture from those countries. And I don't think these are bad :)

I don't believe you, there were so many picture threads from various cities of these countries showing many great buildings. I also think you know such architects as M.Fuksas, C.Pelli, S.Calatrava, N.Foster and others and their works in those countries :)

Nederlands, Spain, UK

Poland does great architecture but mostly old-styled stuff, that's why I cannot vote for Poland when it comes to new cutting age world class architecture. We in Poland right now cannot compare head to head with the likes of the Netherlands, Spain or China. In a few years maybe but not yet.

Here is an example of Polish old-styled stuff you can see in many cities.

Yep, they are great, but these are architects and we talk about architecture that countries are making. Say, Foster's "cucumber" doesn't make the whole UK's architecture awesome.

Btw, I made couple of dark beer just now :baaa:

Brazil, Nippon, Lietuva

China, US, UK

Nippon, Zhongguo, and Brasil

The Netherlands, UK, Other (northern Europe in fact)

last call for voting, this poll will be closed in few hours.
for those who voted already: thanks :)

China seems to be leading, quite unexpected for me but I think Chinese contemporary architecture deserves to be in the top.

China, Dubai and other.

As far as know the greatest architecture in China and Dubai have been done by foreigners, mostly europeans. If the question is who are making the best architecture nowdays I do vote Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.
If the question is which countries have the best architecture I would vote Japan, Neterlands and Spain.

Dude! No one has written anything here in over two years!

And why is this thread in this part of the forum....?:uh:

I don't get it either; why is this thread here?

I didn't have chance to vote - China, Kazakhstan, Dubai :D

yeah guys, this thread is here doing... what? no N&B connection at all.
