My favourite architectural style is Art Nouveau and my favourite examples of this are in Brussels and Vienna. Here are masterpieces by Gustave Strauven and Paul Cauchie and the master himself - Victor Horta:
The above was my favourite architecture until I visited Barcelona earlier this year! Now it's Gaudi and the Sagrada Familia - the most amazing building I have ever experienced (it's not enough just to see it!). More photos here.
Here is the Secession building and Hundertwasser Haus. Vienna is home to many works of my favourite painter Klimt:
The Brighton Pavilion also holds some masterpieces but I'm not sure what the style is!
Further afield, there's the Sydney Opera House - an amazing building! In this view it looks like a ship sailing off into the harbour:

The flowering of this in England was in Kings College Chapel, Cambridge, or the cloisters of Gloucester cathedral.
