List your Top Ten world's most important architectural & engineering feats of the 20th century.

[ereks mom]

I know this is an odd request, but this is for a 20th century history project. This would include bridges, churches, memorials, museums, palaces, arenas, monuments, parks, or other structures or projects designed and built between 1900 and 2000. The structure does NOT necessarily need to be still standing or still in existence.

 

Some that have been suggested (in no particular order) are:

 

St. Louis Arch

Levittown

World Trade Center in NYC

Chrysler Building

Walt Disney World

Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain

Empire State Building

Sydney Opera House

Dubai Mall

Seagram Building

Boulder Dam

Lincoln Memorial

Vietnam Veterans Memorial

The Louvre Pyramid

Petronas Towers

 

Which, if any, of these would you include in your Top Ten list? What would you add to the list? Please give reasons for your choices. Thank you so much!

The Chunnel would definitely be on my list--pretty amazing to have a tunnel of that length dug under the sea.

Crazy Horse Memorial (was started in 1948)
