Would that be "Contemporary Japanese Architecture", by Botond Bognar (one of the coolest names evar), by chance? If so urok 'cause I got the same one =D 

actually it's "Annotated Architecture" by Neil Stevenson (no, not the Snow Crash guy, that's Stephenson.)

And apparently Neil didn't do his research, becuase as Bal says, it's actually called Yoyogi National Gymnasium or something like that. 

I do have Stephenson's Cryptonomicon -- need to get further into that one.

It's a lot of buildings we've seen before, but the pictures show a good aerial view and there is a nice variety of architectural styles. (3 pages of images) 

Indeed, nice photos of various famous site of the world.. 

There's something like that not far from where I live, it's only silly french buildings though... =(
It's a shame they don't have the names of the buildings, some of those are nice and I'd be interested into looking into them a bit more. 

in case you were interested in that one and didn't know the name, it's Neuschwanstein. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuschwanstein

I'd like to know these:

Don't know about the rest though... 

#2 is the Sultan Ahmed Mosque or "Blue Mosque" in Turkey:

The time is here. The place is now. The journey, every episode of the twilight zone ever.

hmm.. think I've missed that one until now and yet it was sitting next to Hagia Sophia all the time! With both of those next to each other it seems like a really fantastic place to visit.

You might have to dig through a lot of text to find them, but this site http://www.deadmalls.com/ has a ton of pictures of dead/dying/demolished shopping malls along with their backstories.

You may notice it was redone for the Twilight Zone feature film (by Joe Dante, no less), but not nearly as good. 

Turkey looks cold.

And human. 

I've spent a lot of time in Istanbul and travelled throughout Turkey but I never captured it quite like this: wonderful photography and outstanding presentation.

Gukanjima is an island near the westernmost shore of Japan.

It is an island built upon a reef in the early 19th century because of a coal mine in the reefs and quickly became a densely populated island 1 km in diameter and 5300 people living packed together, working the mines. 

Someone posted about Gunkanjima a while back, this site has more photos I think:

Great place, wish I could visit it.
