The Chapel of Reconciliation (in Germany) is a rammed earth building. The rammed earth is made using clay mixed with ground up remains of the former church:
There are about 30,000 rammed earth buildings (dating mostly from the Ming and Qing dynasties) in Fujian Province, China:

Nice Topic, i like both really, but not all of old is gold and not all that is new is square.
Sydney opera House. Fantastic. So is Taj mahal
"Interesting building in Tehran:"-I find disgusting.
There should be another option for both.

The Chinese are excellent bridge builders since a very long time. China has countless big rivers.
The Dong built beautiful bridges using wood rivets (no nails):

I just have to post these pics from the Palatina Chapel in Sicily because I can't get over the sheer splendor. Has anybody here been to this building?

Wow, thanks Eric.
The exterior facade is very nice and the interior artwork is fabulous.
Preo, does your state or city have a particular architectural style?

I live presently in Fairfax County, Virginia, (home to the Pentagon and right across the river from Washington D.C.) where the norm is neo-colonial style architecture. Fairfax City sports a town hall and other governmental/public facilities styled in 18th century colonial influenced elements of architecture. I was born in Martinez, California (outside the cities of Oakland and San Jose), where more often than not architectural styles are whacky-new-wave models of architecture as well as traditional Spanish/Mexican style villa homes.
An example of colonial-style houses in Fairfax County:
