3. Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Egypt
Between the ancient pyramids and theBibliotheca Alexandrina, Egypt now has the best of the old and new. Like a giant discus landed at an angle or an enormous light switch, Alexandria's oceanfront library is arguably the first great design of the new millennium. Completed in 2002, it's inspired by the original Alexandrina library, founded in the 3rd century BC and acclaimed as the greatest of all classical institutions. The building's sloped design represents a second sun rising beside the Mediterranean. The vast rotunda space can hold eight million books.
