This photograph is taken at Mosman Bay. The contrast between dark and bright, solid and liquid make the place look particularly peaceful and comfortable.

B: The CCTV Building, Beijing



The CCTV building may well feel familiar. Long an eye-catching presence on Beijing's skyline, it broke ground back in 2004. Designed by architecture firm OMA under the direction of Rem Koolhaas and former partner Ole Scheeren, the 52- story edifice has turned any conventional notion of the skyscraper on its side, rising in two tilting towers that angle to meet midair in a cantilevered embrace. At play is a complex structural system, articulated by a web of steel cross-braces, dense or sparse, as needed. Having welcomed its namesake tenant, China Central Television, the building can now stand proud as a feat of 21st-century ingenuity.
