I love architecture. In fact, if I was not so science oriented, I would probably seek a career in designing buildings.
So what are some of the best architectural examples in your opinion???
Please post you examples here (link, thumbnail, etc).
You may also want to talk about your favorite architectual styles/elements.
Also, to keep it semi-science related, feel free to discuss the science behind architectural elements in your posts. (ie. flying buttresses, arches, domes, etc.)

Pretty wicked.
Theres some brutal history behind it, and everything was torch light and methane pockets back then!

In general to the thread, I like modern looking buildings. I always wonder, 20 years from now will we think our current modern is old and have some new wacky design? There really cant be that many ways to have a roof over your head so I keep thinking it will just become repeditive, but so far it doesnt seem to be..

Astronomical instruments needed to answer crucial questions, such as the search for Earth-like planets or the way the Universe expands, have come a step closer with the first demonstration at the telescope of a new calibration system for precise spectrographs. The method uses a Nobel Prize-winning technology called a 'laser frequency comb', and is published in this week's issue of Science. Read » | 0 comments
Stanford computer scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that enables robotic helicopters to teach themselves to fly difficult stunts by watching other helicopters perform the same maneuvers. The result is an autonomous helicopter than can perform a complete airshow of complex tricks on its own. Read » | 0 comments
