The Taliesin that's in Wisconsin is pretty sweet. I believe there's several houses around town designed by him too. He has some pretty sweet stuff.

Anybody else an Architect on here? I'm RIBA Part 2 (British association system, 6 years in).
My favourite building right now, the new Scottish Parliament by Morales. The attention to detail is a work of art.
