Ya.. Neutra would have got my top nod! How can you create a best-of list without Case Study houses??

The Stahl House, by Pierre Koenig, is Case Study No. 22
Where's Schindler? Too many Phillip Johnson pieces. I love a lot Meier's work, but far too many represented.

Where's the Experience Museum?
And how can you really rate places you haven't seen in person? Architecture can't be judged from a tiny photo.
FL Wright...wow. His work moves me most.
I would also include the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Lovely

wow, some of you are a bit too f*cking jaded. there's some beautiful work in there.
it makes a difference having visited these places in person and seeing a picture. seeing the library of congress or fallingwater up close (which I did just last weekend) is a jaw-dropping experience.

I went to the Canadian War Museum again last night and immediately thought of this survey. It would definitely have been included if this survey expanded to include Canada:
