So we have this friend, Marc, an architectural photographer currently working on a book. He's putting together the most relevant, important, and eye-catching buildings recently completed or in the final phase of development in regions including North America, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Mexico, China, Japan, Australia, and Dubai...

In each region Marc will look at projects that intersect with light, while addressing these types of surfaces or functions:

--stone
--wood
--glass
--metal
--media surface (ex. lcd panels)
--water (ex. spa, pool, other)
--light (ex. fotovoltaic cells)
--shadow (open)

We're wondering what great suggestions any of our wise AT readers might have! What are your favorite, most captivating new buildings around the world??
