They don’t build ’em like they used to! Architecture is a fascinating topic because it’s not just theoretical—it’s all around us and impacts us every single day. Depending on whom you ask, you might get the feeling that buildings used to be constructed with much more creativity, flair, and grace in the past.

One subreddit, which unites millions of architecture fans from all corners of the internet, shares photos of the most impressive buildings from all around the world. Today, we’re featuring some of their newest finds. Scroll down for a huge dose of artistic inspiration. Don’t blame us if you suddenly feel the calling to become an architect and/or start hating modern designs!

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.
