Mill City Museum—Minneapolis
(04 February 2005) - Mill City Museum, one of downtown Minneapolis's latest architectural achievements.

Contemporary Art Museum: Niteroi, Rio, Brazil
(15 April 2004) - Oscar Niemeyer is undoubtedly Brazil's most influential modern architect.

This Jetson's fabulous structure looks like progressive 50's Modern, but was actually completed in 1996. Especially genius is how the alien structure harmonizes with surrounding nature. Check out the...
