Cincinnati有兩建築名列榜中,心理感到蠻高興的,我也很喜歡那兩座建築,一個古典,一個現代典雅

分別是排名45的Cincinnati 聯合車站(現今的Cincinnati Museum Center)
45. Cincinnati Union Terminal (1933)
In the 1920s, architects Fellheimer and Wagner were leaders in the design of railroad terminals. For the Cincinnati Terminal, they brought in their friend, the great Philadelphia architect, Paul Cret (1938 AIA Gold Medalist). Cret was educated at the Ecole des Beaux- Arts but mid-career became influenced by the Modern movement. The result was Cret’s radically stripped-down classicism typified here.

很古典的老火車站建築


以及排名101的Cincinnati NFL team's stadium - Paul Brown Stadium (也是唯一一座職業美氏足球運動場名列榜單中)

101. Paul Brown Stadium (2000) - Cincinnati, NBBJ
NBBJ designed a striking new stadium for the Cincinnati Bengals of the NFL. The building has a cantilevered, steel-structured roof, clad with translucent fabric. Sight lines are superb, and there are no bad seats. The project received a 2002 Business Week/Architectural Record Design Award.
