The American Institute of Architects announced the results of its annual poll and named the top 150 favorite structures across the United States.
Here are the Top Ten on the list:
- Empire State Building
- The White House
- Washington National Cathedral
- Thomas Jefferson Memorial
- Golden Gate Bridge
- U.S. Capitol
- Lincoln Memorial
- Biltmore Estates
- Chrysler Building
- Vietnam Veterans Memorial
As I browsed through the list, I noticed that although I have visited 59 of the buildings on the list, I have only written about a handful. Those that I have written about include: Empire State Building (1), Lincoln Memorial (7), Washington Monument (12), Supreme Court (15), Rockefeller Center (56), TransAmerica Pyramid (61), Corning Museum of Glass (136), and MoMA (146).
You can get the full list of 150 at the AIA 150 website. AIA member architects provided the nominations, and voting was conducted via a Harris Interactive poll.
How many of these buildings have you seen?
