My Favorite Building

The Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal in India is my favorite! I visited it while travelling recently. It’s considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The great white domes of the mausoleum（large tomb）, standing out against the sky. It’s an amazingly romantic building. It was built by the heartbroken emperor, Shah Jahan, after the death of his third wife, as an expression of his sorrow. ----- Keira

The Experience Music Project Museum
My favorite building is the Experience Music Project Museum in Seattle. It was designed by Canadian architect Frank Chery and his customer was Paul Allen of Microsoft fame. Chery was the first person to use a computer modeling system called CATIA- which was used in the aerospace industry. As he said,” we did a building by computer for a computer guy”!At the heart of the structure is a high-tech cinema with a 70ft high ceiling and the world’s largest LED screen. ------Dylan

Westminster Abbey
My favorite is a world famous church--- Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abbey is one of the oldest churches in Great Britain with a history that could claim to be an epitome(缩影) of the history of London, or even the Great Britain. It is a wonderful example of the Gothic architecture and a collection of British historic spots. The church is built on a form of Latin cross, with the twin towers at the front, the Henry VII Lady Chapel at the back. I have visited it several times and I will go again.------Aaron
