Guess the Iconic Structure

[red0011]

so well as the title says 'Guess the Iconic Structure '.
If you guess it right then you get to post the next picture of a structure.
The structure has to be well known; internationally or nationally.
The image has to be of the exterior not the interior of the structure.

Well here's an easy one to start the game,

[TinyMusic]

Told you it was easy

Well here is the next one:

Hint: This temple is not in India

This one is hard simple because I think it is mostly a nationally famous building, not internationally. I could be wrong....

Hint no2: it's in the Oceania region

First of all thanks for a great topic idea .

I recognised Hindu motives in the roof of this temple so it wasn't that hard from there on: it's the Sri Siva Subramaniya temple built on the Fiji Islands in 1986. Very nice to see modern architecture embraced by old rules.

I wonder what Hyronymus is going to pick.

I wonder what Hyronymus is going to pick.

I've been wondering the same.... I think his post is going to be the first medium/hard one! I can't wait

[TinyMusic]

Maybe a European/Dutch building?

[red0011]

Maybe a European/Dutch building?

Maybe? Or maybe he might really surprise us by not picking a European building!

[Hyronymus]

I think I have a nice entry. You mind if I add in points to win, like who ws the architect, when was it build, what makes it special?

[TinyMusic]

Definitely, and it makes it like Guess the train/plane game

[Hyronymus]

Definitely, and it makes it like Guess the train/plane game

OK, here is my entrance then. 7 points to win, questions are:

• Which building is this?
• Where does it stand?
• Who designed this building?
• What is the name of the architectual style?
• When was this building constructed?
• What was the intended use of this building?
• What is the current use of this building?

[red0011]

i have no idea which building that is! Please give us a hint

[Hyronymus]

Maybe other people do have a clue, I'll post a hint tomorrow.

[red0011]

Okay, I shall faithfully wait for the hint
