Vanity Fair just published a survey of 52 highly-acclaimed architects (some of whom are my own favorites), authors, and academicians, to determine the 5 most influential works of architecture of the past 30 years. The overwhelming winner, according to the story, was Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum - Bilbao. American buildings named in survey responses include the Cooper Union building by Morphosis and the Seattle Public Library, Central by Rem Koolhaas.

Listen to the NPR interview with the story's editor here.
And who was the only architect to pick his own work as the most influential? Wolf Prix of Coop Himmelblau....figures. ;)
