City of Petra, Jordan

Not a recent building, but a beautiful and impressive one to my opinion !

Found by chance on Google Maps. A sewage treatment plant that someone has given an interesting look.

There was a famous incident where the international airport in Tehran had it's HVAC installed by an Isreali company (this was back when Iran and Israel got along). Many years later, aerial photography showed that the ductwork on the roof made a giant star of David. Next level trolling right there.

edit: found it:

I really love this building... but sometimes, when you're close to it, it looks like it was made by gluing a bunch of pencils together.

The interior was used in the newest Candy Man movie... great update to a classic horror movie, and it's cool to see what the inside of these looks like.

I'm disappointed that the connection of the "tip" is not angled at a 45° to the bottom left though. Would've been even funnier.

Tribune Tower in Chicago is maybe the best looking building of the modern era. It combines so many different styles into a grand visage rising next to the river and overlooking the lake... there is even a great video all about it here...
