Why:
■
as the Queen City matures, a
sleek and sophisticated design
is transforming downtown.
■
mixing victorian and contemporary styles, glasgow offers
loads of architectural eye candy.
■
it’s a home-design hub: see
egyptian revival, tudor, midcentury modern, and more.
Don’t Miss:
■
the bechtler museum of modern art, designed by mario
botta. it’s a beauty from the
inside out; a glass atrium slices
through the museum’s core.

the mackintosh house, which
reassembles the interior of
Charles rennie mackintosh’s
home, including his signature
colored glass panels.

Forget star maps — the homes
are the stars in la, where you
can choose tours based on
style, architect, and area.

nasCar hall of Fame appears
to be moving — fitting for the
fast culture the museum celebrates. charlottesgotalot.com

september, is made from translucent materials; the venue will
appear to glow against a night
sky. seeglasgow.com

at the walt disney Concert
hall, Frank gehry helped design
the venue’s organ: all 72 stops,
109 ranks, and 6,125 pipes.
