Impressive architecture...

One of the reasons why I like America is huge and impressive buildings. It's something I haven't to face here in Latvia and I'm really desire to see it presence. It must be breath bated sight when u, small human being, look upwards and see these amazing skyscrapers, which are swaying in the wind... :) I hope that one day I will expierence it...definitely! :)
My favourite building in NY is Chrysler Building. Love it's Art Deco ornamentation at the crown, especially at night lighting.
Once in 'GEO' magazine red an article about brazilian architect Oscar Niemerey. Cool dude u know! Now he is 102 (!!!!) years old, BUT still working! Yeah...amazing! He's specializing in international modern architecture - good proof for that is he's Copan building (140-metre, 38-story residential building in São Paulo, Brazil). Something weird, but totally incredible - a house like a wave. I would like to see, but scared of killing me there in a first hour of visiting :D. No words to add, just enjoy ;)
