This is quality with out a name because there is not a specific building that the picture was take of.
This was taken in Venice, Italy just west of St. Marks square. Also the picture exhibits beauty without trying to over do it.

Quality Without a Name

"Rotating Tower in Motion" This rotating building is based on Dynamic architecture concept by Florentine architect David Fisher. These buildings rotate in 360 degrees independently of one another, acting as turbines to generate energy.

Machu Picchu was in the presentation we saw today, and I definitely agree that it deserved to be. This ancient site was home to the Inca Empire and what really amazes me the most is that it was all built 8,000 ft above sea level.

This is a picture of the Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, Canterbury. This is one of the oldest and most famous Christian structures in England. I actually went here this last summer, and I was amazed by the great details and artwork across the cathedral. If you ever go to England, I would recommend you to go visit this cathedral.

Quality Without a Name


This building is the BMW Headquarters in Munich, Germany. I think that the architect did an amazing job here designing a modern building that fits alongside the BMW brand. The building gives an impression of something that could belong in a car. By integrating that feature into the design, along with the color choice, the building gives a whole new meaning to modern architecture.

The Quality Without Name

The Meyerson Symphony Hall in Dallas.

The shape, color, design, height, and more all combine to make it the perfect place for a concert. The building adds to the music experience.

Quality Without A Name - Grand Canyon Skywalk

Grand Canyon Skywalk
Las Vegas, NV 89118
"The Grand Canyon Skywalk is an architectural marvel. The Skywalk was completed in March, 2007 after 2.5 years and 30 million dollars worth of hard work and engineering. This structure weighs an astonishing 1.571 million pounds, and was built to withstand an excess of 71 million pounds in weight on top of it. (That’s the equivalent of 71 fully-loaded 747 airliners piled one on top of the other!) This amazing ability to withstand weight as well as the forces of nature is due to the Skywalk’s 2 inch thick steel frame which is designed specifically to flex in the heat, cold, and wind. This frame is anchored to the Grand Canyon by casens and micro piles measuring 46 feet down into the solid bedrock. The specially-made German glass which forms the platform for our guests to walk the experience also plays a big part in the durability and beauty of Skywalk. Each of the 46 panes forming the walkway are constructed of 5-layers of glass bonded together and laminated, weighing in at 1,200 lbs a piece, and making the glass incredibly strong while still providing a crystal-clear view of the canyon below" (Skywalk, 1)
