The Architectural Record celebrated its 125th anniversary by celebrating the field's most significant accomplishments over the same time period.
To commemorate the publication's 125th anniversary, the editors of the Architectural Recordselected a list of the Top 125 most important works of architecture built since the magazine’s founding in 1891.
As we clicked through the list we noticed the High Line's inclusion, which is not a "building," as well as the Zubizuri Bridge, the Vietnam Memorial, the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, and the Olympic Sculpture Park. That's all fine and good, but if we're loosening the definition of "building," why not include the Golden Gate Bridge too?
Click through to check out all the beautiful buildings (and the five not buildings) on the list.
