3 wonders of the world that designers should have voted for
Since we are the 07/07/07, a blog post about the 7 wonders of the world would have been more appropriate, but since I am writing this as part of the “Three” blog project organized by Daniel of Daily Blog tips, I want to focus on the more designer-friendly wonders. These are not my favourites, but I think that they are the most insteresting for a designer.
I don’t know the results at the time I am writing this, but I sincerely hope the following items have been picked.
I don’t think that there is a real need to explain this one. The architects of this building are pure geniuses, and it is one of the only modern buildings that has a chance become one of the seven new wonders of the world.
If those are picked, it would be rewarding one of the most famous (but unknown) cartoonists of the world. Come on, don’t you love these statues?
If you ever designed with a grid, you have to love this building. Le Corbusier would have voted for it for sure.

I like the 1st and 3rd. 2nd is a great destination, but doesnt look like to be a wonder.

Well, now we know that none of these has become a wonder.
Nirmal: are you picking on my favourite “almost wonder of the world”?

Some worthy considerations. Though the Sydney Opera house is a fantastic architectural structure, it does have a design flaw - its acoustics are not that great. Isn’t that ironic?

Sheila: yes it is, I didn’t know about that and cannot understand how they not focus on accoustics when investing so much money in that project.

I’ve been fortunate enough to see two operas there and to be honest, I didn’t notice any issues.
