10 Sexiest Buildings Around the World
Quadracci Pavilion
Quadracci Pavilion, Milwaukee Museum of Modern Art; Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Its description lies somewhere between a glorious yacht, a graceful dove, and a modern dancer. Be sure to catch the Pavilion’s Burke Brise Soleil at the beginning and end of the day when its wings open and close.
Absolute World Towers
Mississauga, Canada: The supermodel of modern architecture, the twisting Mississauga towers have probably grown tired of hearing the compliments
Sonneveld House
Sonneveld House; Rotterdam, The Netherlands: The strong, silent type, Sonneveld House was way ahead of its time when it was built in the early 30s. Aside from its clean lines and modernist design, the home also contained a bell system to contact household help, telephone system, and highly daring colour combinations.
Casa Batlló
Casa Batlló; Barcelona, Spain: Gaudi’s curvy masterpiece is made all the more amazing when one realizes this sensuous building was completed over 100 years ago
Sydney Opera House
Sydney Opera House; Sydney, Australia: It was opened in the era of polyester and bad hair but this structure has always been timeless.
Millau
Millau Viaduct (Viaduc de Millau); Millau, France: In a land where beauty is everywhere, the competition for the sexy title is fierce. Simple but stunning, this structure’s clean lines and an intimidating scale only add its undeniable magnetism.
Zwinger
Zwinger; Dresden, Germany: The oldest building on our list, Zwinger, which was heavily influenced by Versailles, was all but destroyed in the Second World War. Painstakingly restored, it was the building’s power, imposing facade, and largesse that put it on our list.
Disney Concert Hall
Walt Disney Concert Hall; Los Angeles, California: Now that the controversy has died down Angelenos can’t imagine their city without the shimmering panels that gleam like diamonds in the strong California sun.
Penang Bridge
Penang Bridge (Jambatan Pulau Pinang); Malaysia: As slinky as a screen siren, this particular choice is almost more sculpture than bridge. Slithering across the water to connect the island of Penang with the Malaysian mainland, the bridge is also known for its annual marathon.
Fallingwater
Fallingwater; Mill Run, Pennsylvania: Having been featured on the cover of no less than Time magazine, Fallingwater remains just as mythic and legendary as its creator, the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright. Built for the Kaufman family of Kaufman’s department store, the gutsy house is situated on top of a waterfall.

Kata-Kata Indah
Kita lahir dengan dua mata di depan wajah kita, kerana kita tidak boleh selalu melihat ke belakang. Tapi pandanglah semua itu ke depan, pandanglah masa depan kita.
Kita dilahirkan dengan 2 buah telinga di kanan dan di kiri, supaya kita dapat mendengarkan semuanya dari dua buah sisi. Untuk berupaya mengumpulkan pujian dan kritikan dan memilih mana yang benar dan mana yang salah.
Kita lahir dengan otak di dalam tengkorak kepala kita. Sehingga tidak peduli semiskin mana pun kita, kita tetap kaya. Kerana tidak akan ada seorang pun yang dapat mencuri otak kita, fikiran kita dan idea kita. Dan apa yang anda fikirkan dalam otak anda jauh lebih berharga daripada emas dan perhiasan.
Kita lahir dengan 2 mata dan 2 telinga, tapi kita hanya diberi 1 buah mulut. Kerana mulut adalah senjata yang sangat tajam, mulut bisa menyakiti, bisa membunuh, bisa menggoda, dan banyak hal lainnya yang tidak menyenangkan. Sehingga ingatlah bicara sesedikit mungkin tapi lihat dan dengarlah sebanyak-banyaknya.
Kita lahir hanya dengan 1 hati jauh di dalam diri kita. Mengingatkan kita pada penghargaan dan pemberian cinta diharapkan berasal dari hati kita yang paling dalam. Belajar untuk mencintai dan menikmati betapa kita dicintai tapi jangan pernah mengharapkan orang lain untuk mencintai kita seperti kita mencintai dia.
Berilah cinta tanpa meminta balasan dan kita akan menemui cinta yang jauh lebih indah.
