According to The Associated Press, The Seven Wonders are:
- Burj Dubai, the world’s tallest building, which is under construction in the Middle East and already is more than 1,700 feet tall. The final height is a secret but its developer, Emaar Properties, has said it will stop somewhere above 2,275 feet and will exceed 160 floors.
-- London’s new Wembley Stadium, which seats 90,000. A massive 436-foot-tall, 1,000-foot-long single arch braces the retractable roof. The stadium will be a centerpiece of the 2012 Olympics.
-- New Museum of Contemporary Art, designed to resemble an off-kilter stack of silvery rectangles, on the Bowery on Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
-- Kogod Courtyard, Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C., a curved roof of glass and steel above shallow pools in the courtyard of the Old Patent Office Building, also known as the Reynolds Center.
Red Ribbon, Tanghe River Park, in Qinhuangdao, China, about 180 miles east of Beijing, a steel bench that runs one-third of a mile through a riverbank garden and ecological oasis.
-- The Crystal, a new entryway and exhibit space at Toronto’s Royal Ontario Museum, designed by Daniel Libeskind.
