An incredible building that is as much plant as it is stone, this university almost look like it’s been taken over by trees.

2. Sydney University Business School.

Designed by the controversial architect Frank Gehry, this building is affectionately nicknamed the ‘Crumpled Paper Bag’. The building characteristically plays with form and expectation.

3. The United States Airforce Academy.

The building itself is reminiscent of the functional, streamlined airplanes the cadets learn to fly inside & the repeating pattern calls to mind entire fleets and the collective force of the US airforce.

7. School of art, design and media, Singapore.

This environmentally-friendly building reduces its footprint in more ways than one, blending into its surround and encouraging people to make use of the green space it offers.

8. Art museum, University of Minnesota.

Another twisted wreckage by Frank Gehry, this museum is as disjointed and incoherent as the collection of artefacts housed inside.

9. The entire campus of the Colorado Boulder University.

Nestled into the mountain ranges of Colorado, this beautiful campus has a coherence that makes it feel like one big village.

10. Cambridge University’s Faculty of History.

A masterwork of modernism, the sleek, factory-like design of this building makes it one of the best examples of modern, minimalist architecture.
