America's Favorite Architecture

"America's Favorite Architecture" is a list of buildings and other structures identified as the most popular works of architecture in the United States.

Criticisms
The list reflects popular sentiment as measured by an opinion survey, and thus diverges from the judgment of architecture critics. Urban design critic John King of the San Francisco Chronicle described the list as "the architectural equivalent of comfort food." King noted that the public's ratings were based on seeing a single photo of each building, and pointed out that "There's more to architecture than a picture can convey." == Structures ranked below the top 150 ==
