Architecture x 12: buildings we love
This week marks the century’s last sequential date on December 12, 2012, and given the numerical significance, we thought we'd take the opportunity to share a dozen of our favorite architectural photos...
So, below are 12 picks for 12/12/12, hand-selected from MYD's photographic archives- all are from our own travels and architectural adventures, and several have been featured in MYD's 'Buildings We Love' series.
