9. Durham Cathedral
9. Durham Cathedral (Image 9 of 12)
Durham Cathedral was the building that made me want to be an architect. I remember going to visit the building at the age of 12 and it blew me away with its unbelievable beauty. Founded in AD 1093 it is generally regarded as one of the finest examples of a Norman cathedral and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It sits alongside the River Wear, which runs down to my home city of Sunderland. I wish I could design a building that would last a thousand years! The attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship are typical of both Gothic and Romanesque architecture.
