Bullocks Wilshire, Department Store
39. The front facade reveals striking textures, colors, and imagery that work together to conjure thoughts of fairytales and phantasmal dreams. The larger sculptural pieces that create the boundaries of the balconies and that frame the entrance resemble bones, suggesting a septum, eyebrows, or clavicles, which keep to the anthropomorphic tone. As eyes wander up to the top of this building, they are greeted by the dominating reptilian surface of the roof.

The boldness and fertility of his invention and his command of space are probably his greatest achievements.
Frank Lloyd Wright
33. Designed by Jacques Ignace Hittorf, replaced a small station of (1843 to 7). The gable of the broad façade follows the line of the train shed's pitched iron and glass roof, and the outer pavilions distinguish the arrival and departure of sides of the station.

Hotel Tassel
74. Designed by Victor Horta, where steel stanchions are boldly employed externally. In the latter, the interior is arranged around a superb octagonal space which is ringed with slender iron columns flowing into elliptical arches and supporting a shallow glass dome.
Hotel Van Eetvelde
4. Its most identifiable element is the dendriform columns, the name used by Wright because of their treelike shape. Wright's ability to effortlessly incorporate the organic metaphor into his architecture is revealed in the building via a tall slender mushroom column that tapers to a base of a mere 9 inch diameter. They rise 30 feet and terminate at the roof level as broad circular lily pads of concrete 18 1/2 feet wide. Wright's imagination led to creating these hollow cored columns that serve as stormwater drains and which feature hinged bases with pin jointed bronze shoes.
Johnson Wax Company Building
71. The Art Nouveau Movement in Germany.
Jugendstil
11. Designed by Lewis Cubitt, consists of two arched sheds expressed in the vast stock brick arches of the façade.

The iron and glass sheds, each of which has a span of 32m.
King's Cross Station, London
19. Designed by Antoni Gaudi, is still largely unfinished and was seen by Gaudi as the work of generations, a building that would evolve painstakingly rather than a design that was fully thought out from the beginning. The façade of the Nativity has three steeply gabled, deeply recessed porches, the outer ones corresponding to the transept aisles, dominated by four skittle shaped openwork spires. The porches are profusely ornamented with naturalistic sculpture beneath stonework which gives the impression of soft, melting snow.
La Sagrada Familia
23. The artist of the figure "Atlas" is in front of the Rockefeller Center.
Lee Lawrie
17. It was one of the first glass International style office buildings in the United States. Located in midtown Manhattan, it was originally the American corporate headquarters of the soap company Lever Brothers. The design of this building offsets the tall office tower from the horizontal base. The horizontal base is lifted off the ground plane by pilotis except for a small, enclosed portion, providing a public plaza underneath and a threshold between the exterior and interior of the building. Here, the ground floor has space for displays, waiting for visitors, an auditorium, and a demonstration kitchen.

Nikolaikirche
31. Designed by Louis Pierre Baltard, it exemplifies the kind of Rational Classicism which was promoted at the Ecole des Beaux Artes in Paris. Its giant colonnade of 24 Corinthian columns is punctuated only by a slightly wider central intercolumniation.
Palais De Justice, Lyon
22. The plan is a noteworthy example of the application of Beaux Arts principles, its elements and space related and held together by a strongly controlled axial system. An enormous foyer, sumptuously enriched with brightly gilded sculpture and Baroque architectural elements, with a vaulted painted ceiling from which hang candelabra, leads to the magnificent escalier d'honneur, beyond which lie the auditorium and extensive stage area.
Palais Garnier
17. Designed by Joseph Poelaert, stands on a height overlooking the city and builds up pyramidally to a domed tower above the central great hall. It is a gargantuan building, and although its Classical details are suitably monumental, they are generally overcrowded and suggest a straining after effect which compares unfavorably with the fluent brilliance of Opera in Paris.
Palais de Justice, Brussels
53. It has an unusual trapezoidal plan, and the exhibition rooms are arranged around a semicircular courtyard. In two corners of the building, staircases of reinforced concrete by Francois Hennebique spiral down from cantilevered galleries, their daring construction now concealed by subsequent enclosures.
Petit Palais, Paris
49. Designed by Paul Wallot, was built on a scale suitable for its role as a symbol of the second Reich. Its Baroque Classicism, handled with assurance, is a little ponderous in some of the details.
Riechstag Building, Berlin
7. Designed as two large rectangles that seem to slide past one another, the long, horizontal residence that Wright created, boldly established a new form of domestic design: the Prairie style. As the first uniquely American architectural style, it responded to the expansive American plains by emphasizing the horizontal over the vertical. A dramatic twenty foot cantilevered roof shades ribbons of art glass windows below creates privacy and seamlessly connects the interior and exterior. Inside, the typical warren of rooms is discarded for a light filled open plan, centered around the main hearth. Wright responded not only to the openness of the American landscape but also to the more informal quality of the modern American lifestyle.
Robie House
44. Designed by J. F. Bently, is the one major English building based on the revival of Byzantine Architecture. The three pendentive domes cover the length of the spacious nave and a slightly smaller dome is set over the sanctuary, beyond which lies the apse of the choir.
Roman Catholic Cathedral, Westminster
72. The architect who designed the Reliance Building (1890 to 95)
Root and Charles B. Atwood
58. Designed by George Edmund Street, one of the last important buildings to be erected in the High Victorian Gothic Style, is a vast, vigorously modeled composition, planned with considerable ingenuity to meet complex requirements: the courts are arranged about a huge, vaulted Gothic concourse. The design is highly personal to Street, who executed 3000 drawings by his own hand, in the face of dogged official parsimony, only to die before it was completed.
Royal Courts of Justice, London
1. The concrete building contains 100 cells and features many of the structural and decorative motifs that Le Corbusier developed over his career. The structure was also added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Sainte Marie de La Tourette
4. Designed by Georg von Dollmann, was built for Ludwig II of Bavaria in South German Rococo style. It is superbly sited with delightful formal gardens and sumptuous and finely executed Rococo interiors
Schloss Linderhof
20. Designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, is the architect's most famous work. The main building was constructed between 1897 and 1899, and its long ashlar façade is dominated by huge, north facing studio windows disposed of with subtle variations of rhythm around a more obviously asymmetrical entrance bay. Thus, the direct expression of function is combined with echoes of Scottish vernacular architecture and the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement.
School of Art, Glasgow
1. The Art Nouveau Movement in Austria
Sezessione
41. The architect who designed the Pullman Building (1883)
Solon S. Beman
45. Designed by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes, is one of the most magnificent Neo Classical monuments in Britain.

The exterior reveals Elme's knowledge of Schinkel's work, while the great hall takes its inspiration from the Baths of Caracalla in Rome.
St. George's Hall, Liverpool
40. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and W.B. Moffatt, won in a competition. It's a large stone church of cruciform plan, with a tall crossing tower and spire. Designed in the geometrical Gothic style of the 13th century.
St. Giles, Chamberwell, London
48. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, stands in front of the huge train shed off 1864 to8. It was a showpiece for the Midland Railway Company, providing extensive hotel accommodation as well as the usual booking hall and offices. It is an outstanding example of Scott's secular Gothic style, blending Italian, French, and Flemish elements in a high Victorian way.
St. Pancras Hotel and Station Block, London
34. The Art Nouveau Movement in Italy.
Stile Florleale
19. Designed by architects Sir Owen Williams with Ellis and Clarke, the building's main lobby's east and west walls sport two gilded murals, "Great Britain" and "The Empire", by sculptor Eric Aumonier.

The Secession Building
21. A correct statement.
The building's decorative neo-Gothic program only adds to this sense of monumentality. On the exterior, ornate sculptural arches, finials, and gargoyles over-scaled enough to be read from streetlevel, refer directly to European medieval architecture and draw the eye towards the heavens in the same manner as a High Gothic cathedral.
9. Designed by M. G. B. Bindesboll, was built to house the works of the Danish sculptor Bertil (Alberto) Thorswalden. Greek Revival in spirit and to some extent Egyptian Architecture, especially in the internal courtyards.
Thorwaldsen Musuem, Copenhagen
13. Designed by Martin Nyrop, is a suavely eclectic design, blending medieval and Renaissance elements in a composition whose symmetry is counteracted by a refined belltower.
Town Hall, Copenhagen
38. Designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, is a masterpiece of High Victorian Classicism. Grandiose in conception, rugged and massive in outline and opulent in detail, it asserts the independence and pride of a prosperous industrial city. The plan consists of a large public hall, rivalling that of St. George's Hall, Liverpool, and four corner pavilions containing the law courts and council chambers.
Town Hall, Leeds
16. Designed by Alfred Waterhouse, is ingeniously planned on a difficult triangular site, and resolves the awkward central angles by skillful devices of projecting bays and blocks. The council chamber and main reception rooms occupy the front of the building, offices and committee rooms taking up the other two sides; all are reached from ring corridor. Open arcades and different levels produce constantly changing vistas and spatial relationships.
Town Hall, Manchester
30. Designed by Sir Charles Barry, is one of the designs he initiated during the Renaissance Revival and the "Palazzo" mode in England. The two story stuccoed façade of five regular bays is made asymmetrical by the location of the main entrance in an end bay.
Traveller's Club, Pall Mall, London
24. Designed by J. L. Pearson, was incomplete at his death and was continued by his son. It exemplifies the architect's refined Early Gothic style, with lancet windows and sharp spires rising from square towers to give a powerful vertical emphasis. It is of granite, and the interior spaces are unified by stone vaulting, not often used in churches at this time.
Truro Cathedral, Cornwall
69. Designed by Giuseppe Sacconi, was built on the slopes of the Capitol to commemorate the unification of Italy and the nation's first king. It consists of an enormous, terraced platform on which stands an equestrian statue of the king, backed by an even larger, slightly concave Corinthian colonnade, supporting an elaborately decorated attic, and terminated at each end by pavilions bearing great bronze sculptural groups. The monument houses a museum of the Risorgimento.
Victor Emmanuel II Monument, Rome
8. Designed by Le Corbusier in 1929, represents the culmination of a decade during which the architect worked to articulate the essence of modern architecture. Throughout the 1920s, via his writings and designs, Le Corbusier considered the nature of modern life and architecture's role in the new machine age. His famous dictum, that "The house should be a machine for living in," is perfectly realized within the forms, layout, materials, and siting of the structure.
Villa Savoye
70. Designed by Heinrich von Fertsel, was built as a thank offering when an attempt on Emperor Franz Josef's life was foiled. It is an elaborate essay in Gothic, heralded by tall, slender western towers with open belfries and crocketed steeples, and its richness is akin to Scott's Nikolaikirche in Hamburg.
Votivkirche, Vienna
