10 Unique Marvels of Architecture

When you combine innovative technologies with human ingenuity and creative ideas, you can implement incredible projects that will become a vital part of future architecture.

Here are ten unique marvels of architecture from ancient and modern times.

1. Chapel of Sound Amphitheatre

The Chapel of Sound Amphitheatre is located in a valley near Beijing. It is a monolithic open-air performance theatre with glimpses of the Ming Dynasty’s Great Wall remnants. The Chapel of Sound is designed to resemble a mysterious boulder that was softly placed on the ground.

2. Harbin Opera House, designed by MAD Architects

This opera house looks like a giant wasps’ nest, but really it is an 850,349 square-foot multi-venue performing arts center in Harbin, designed by the well-known Chinese architect agency MAD.

3. Lonely House, Yokohama, Japan

Built in 1623, this idyllic little house is a dream come true for every introvert out there. But as with all the old dwellings, this one has its fair share of potential issues like the plumbing, possible flash floods in spring, or even the absence of a bathroom. And what do you do in the winter?

4. Sun and Moon pagodas in Guilin, China

The two towers emanate a weird, almost mystical vibe. Even looking at the photo fills people with wonder! Make sure to visit the Sun and Moon pagodas whenever you visit Guilin.
