Best music venue?
Best theatre(district)?
Best opera house?
(Architectually) best hospital?
This one might be more for the skybar but city with the most musical influence?

best simcity

I really enjoyed the best church category. That is how I found this page. I was watching a documentary on the top five Christian churches. (They listed the Hagia Sophia, Sagrada Familia, St. Peter's, Notre Dame and the Chrystal Cathedral.) Anyway, when they were going on and on about all the supports and braces needed to hold up the Hagia Sophia, I got the idea in my head to build a model, and I went searching on the Internet, and I eventually found you guys. I'm curious about religious building built by people of other faiths: Judaism and Islam come to mind first, but I have a vague notion that Japan and Inda are full of religious buidings, too, so I suggest some of the following categories:
Best Synagague
Best Mosque
Best Temple

***hkskyline*** · August 15th, 2006, 06:04 AM

^ Very good ideas. I guess the notion of the 'church' is too Western-centric, but there is a 'Best Religious Building' discussion thread here.

ErinHowarth · August 15th, 2006, 09:34 PM

Yes, I saw that thread. It has some very beautiful pictures of buildings I had never even heard of. That's what has me interested. I think we have several contenders for best Buddhist Temple and a couple for Best Mosque, but no synagogues were mentioned at all. I wonder if this is simply because there are no architecturally outstanding synagogues. (I can't say that my own faith has built anything to rival the great buildings of the world.) Or perhaps it's because the persons on this forum are familiar with this form of architecture. This is a skyscraper forum after all. I’m really just looking for modeling subjects, and I've become intrigued with your discussion here.
