    Einstein Tower can be considered as an important architecture in the history because it is a typical expressionist architecture, and it is functional at the same time. For the expressionism, “The curved walls and apertures now stand out even more because of the lighting, giving a sense of how Mendelsohn's most famous building is a volume quite literally carved from space.”[3] Einstein Tower is also a functional building, since it is an astrophysical observatory, which was built in order to proof or disproof Albert Einstein's relativity theory.…

    From the beautiful blue dome to the finite details in the tile work the Great Mosque is regarded as the epitome of Persian architecture. However the mosque wasn’t built for the king, but rather for the common people as a place of worship. Though it was built as a place for worship, its grandeur can rival that of Versailles.

    “I am Burj Khalifa,” reads the last line of a quote imprinted on a wall of the building to which the quote refers. A perfect quote, that personifies a building that in its short lifetime (its doors opened only three years ago) has generated many decades worth of criticism and opinion. If this quote seems arrogant or conceited, that is perhaps exactly what the Burj Khalifa wants, and standing as the world’s tallest building by a staggering 1000 feet, it has every right to be. Designed by Adrian Smith, formerly of the firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, the Burj Khalifa has been a headline grabber ever since developer Emaar Properties initiated a design competition for its architect. The Burj Khalifa, or Burj Dubai as originally intended, certainly has its merits aesthetically and in terms of engineering prowess, however much of its criticism has been with the political and economic circumstances surrounding its construction and opening. It may seem impossible to overlook a building that soars half a mile into the sky, but that, in a sense, is what has happened to the Burj Khalifa.…
