I like the InterContinental Westlake in Hanoi. Simple design, but very elegant and atmospheric.

Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai.

I'd love to visit here

When I was in Dubai, my hotel was next to it (Al Qasr - part of the Jumeirah resort) ....
We asked to go in it ... But it was not possible ... You only enter it if you have a room there or plan to go to the restaurant .... and to go to the restaurant seems to be quite complicated, too ...
but next time i'm going to Al Qasr (asap, i love it !), I'll ask again ! I'm sure someone nice enough can organize this for an art historian ...


this summer they had some 'sales' on the rooms ... the cheapest one was 700€ a night ...


here is a pic from the beach of my hotel in Dubai

I love those! The sleek and modern boutiques and of course the bird's nest from the Olympics B)

This new residential building in Sao Paolo, Fidalga 727, looks pretty nice from the projected layout.

[Jacque Marcel]

I love Midcentury Modern and these two architects are my faves.

Pierre Koenig

I had the chance to tour this house recently and it was amazing in person. It's the setting of the Valentino campaign in my avi.

Richard Neutra

^ that's beautiful. The pool overlooking the views

 

[Geostud]

I absolutely love Jean Nouvel and the Norwegian firm called Snohetta. As a arch student at IIT though, I should say that I worship Mies van der Rohe.

Fondation Cartier by Jean Nouvel

Oslo Opera House by Snohetta

Crown Hall (my former classroom) by Mies
