You can find information and photos about searched buildings, or look for interesting one in every country or city. Also you can find the precise location of the building on the map. If you have any information about some interesting building in your country or city, you can add it in our site. For more information please contact us.

I'm Sona, I'm 22. I was born in a little country, but always dreamt of something big and unexplored.

After graduating and getting a BA on Iranian studies at YSU I discovered strong passion for journalism. So I started self-education, explored the works of distinguished journalists. First I wrote novels and stories for me and my friends. Afterwards I started writing cultural articles. Recently I came to www.building.am. Here I try to present the spirit of a country or region through a building and architecture in the whole.

I am also very keen on travelling, exploring different cultures and lifestyles. Thus we have still lots of roads to cross together and lots of mesmerizing architectural sights to discover. There is so much still to learn and see on this Blue Planet, isn't it?

Have a nice journey!

Born in Stepanakert, on October 11th, 1980. Graduated from the Artsakh State University, faculty of Foreign Languages with a Master`s Degree in Linguistics. I felt the love for reading and writing from my early childhood. This feeling was expressed in collecting thoughts and quotes by famous people, writing original essays as well as reading books by Russian and Foreign writers. Passion for the reading hasn`t vanished till now, though, being a mother of two children, little time have left for me to read works of my favorite authors - Dostoevsky, Chekhov, Bulgakov, Feuchtwanger and Galsworthy.

My work for the building.am is to write about Armenian churches and monasteries. For me it` s a great chance to know more about the history of my people and share this knowledge with our readers; as one great philosopher said, “A generation which ignores history has no past — and no future”.

I was born in 1985 in the Republic of Armenia, but I've been traveling still I was in the womb getting great pleasure from the fantastic view of the Heaven. I graduated from music school after Charles Aznavour in Metsamor city in parallel with Armavir Arts College. In 2002-2007 I studied at Yerevan State Linguistic University after V. Brusov in the faculty of Russian language, Literature and English.

I like everything that includes joy and laughter. Working on the part of the site «Funny Buildings» as an article writer, I try to please you and beautify your daily life with bright colors.

Hence I have a funny dream to live in a unique home that should look like a grape, and the roof- like grapes' leaves. Each grape-ball is a separate apartment with modern conveniences. And you can receive adrenaline by a single click of a button that will turn a house into a crazy merry-go-round.

I was born in Yerevan, February 11, 1991. Graduated from Yerevan State University, department of Mathematics. I prefer actions to words, appreciate everything that surprises, inspires and excites spirit. Since childhood, unconsciously I’m drawn to adventure, beauty, and everything that’s undiscovered. I think nothing is impossible. It’s a distinct pleasure to me to get the best of difficulties which to others seem insurmountable. I’m interested in culture. In music, literature, painting always find something own, different, but the whole attitude of with the inherent my special analytical bias.
