Architectural masterpieces in Google Maps - Please add

Ernest

I've been spending a long afternoon searching for Top Roofs on Google Maps. And here they are.

T-house from Simon Ungers, who was brilliant
Villa dall'ava from OMA
Palais Bulles from Antti Lovag
Of course Casa Malaparte from Curzio Malaparte

And here, some rooftops that are just a little less spectacular:
Parish house from System Architects
Chemosphere from Bucky Fuller
Stahl house from Pierre Koenig
Casa de Vidro from Lina Bo Bardi
Kundmanngasse from Ludwig Wittgenstein

Follow the links above or, if you have del.icio.us; you can save them from my links.
