Hall of Fame Category Ideas

I had some ideas for possible future categories in the Hall of Fame, and I figured I'd post them.

CATEGORY IDEAS:

Best supertall
Best midrange (around 50-70 story) skyscraper
Best short skyscraper (49 stories or less)

Best (x city) skyscraper besides supertalls
Best (x country/continent) skyscraper

Most beautiful skyscraper
Strangest skyscraper
Ugliest skyscraper (?)
Most overrated skyscraper
Most underrated skyscraper
Skyscraper that should have been built (practical buildings only!)
Best skyscraper that nobody knows about
Best skyscraper in x architectural style

Any comments/other ideas?

Why does it always has to be a scryscraper.

Hows about:
The best comieblock (5-9; 10-30; 30-... stories)
Best school building (5-10; 10-20; 20-... years old)

And if you want a scyscraper:
Best Baltic scyscraper (can be also "Best Baltic and Scancinavian")

How about:

Best up-and-coming city?

Best state capital?

Best Texas skyline?

Best beach scene?

It doesn't have to be indepedent buildings does it?

I agree with Jason, you need to keep this one simple and general for a wide audience. With categories like 'Best Baltic scyscraper' and 'Best state capital' you're going to exclude a wide range of people who are just not familiar with these.

Next vote will be on 'most beautifull bridge' by the way.

Keeping it simple is a valid point. However, I think there might still be room for broad categories like "best non-supertall" or "most unique building."

Why not best Calatrava/Botta/Piano/Herzog & de Meuron building?

Or simply: best architect of the last 20 years... (with examples)
