Here are some pictures of what I think are some amazing buildings ever made on Earth, and how I think modern architecture is supposed to be; beautiful, as a form of art, and useful to our society.

| The Architecture Building of Cybertecture Egg, India |
This building, named the Architecture Building of Cybertecture Egg, which is located in India, was designed by James Law. This beautiful building has a garden in the uppermost part of the building, and uses solar panels to generate electricity inside it. This egg-shaped design results in using only 10%-20% area of the ground and thus reduces the surface area of land it needs.

| The Seed Cathedral |
The Seed Cathedral, designed by Thomas Heatherwick, represented the United Kingdom at the 2010 Shanghai Expo. This amazing work of sculptural architecture uses 60,000 acrylic rods, in which each rod bears a plant seed at its inner tip. This building has two functions– one to store and inform the visitors of the Shanghai Expo, and to also proceed as a seed reservoir to document Earth’s green history.

| Sustainable Architecture Building, Hamburg |
This building, located in Hamburg, diligently designed by J. Mayer H., is strategically placed in a small town in which basically has a lot of green and blue from the water and trees. The simple, beautiful colors of this building has a nice effect with its surroundings and bear satisfactory effect to our eyes.

| Vodafone Headquarters, Porto, Portugal |
This wondrous building, the Vodafone Headquarters, which is located in Portugal, was designed by Barbosa Guimaraes. Unlike its flashy, abstract outer structure, it actually reflects Vodafone's "Life in Motion" slogan, in which the building appears to be growing and developing out of our conventional minds. I really admire this design, because it's so ingenious and an out-of-the-box thinking.
