#1 OPERA HOUSE, Australia Sidney Opera House is cooled using seawater taken directly from the harbour. The system circulates cold water through 35 kilometers of pipes to power both the heating and air conditioning in the building. When the Symphony Orchestra is on stage in the Concert Hall, the temperture must be 22.5 degrees to ensure the instruments stay in tune. Temperture and humedity are critical to musical instruments.

#3 TAJ MAHAL, India The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan knew Love with his fourth wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who gave him fourteen children throughout his life. However, he could not survive the delivery of his last child and died, leaving behind the most faithful and sad of lovers. The monarch, disconsolate, sought a unique way to keep his spirit alive forever: the construction of a majestic palace that would become a symbol of love and beauty for posterity.

#4 CATHEDRAL ST BASIL, Russia

ARCH. Pรณstnik Yรกkovlev

According to the legend, Ivan the Terrible ordered to blind the architects responsible for such architectural beauty so that they could not repeat the project or make one that was better. However, it is very possible that it is an invented legend, because Postnik later raised the Cathedral of the Annunciation, as well as the walls and towers of the Kazan Kremlin.
