According to Conde Nast Traveller’s, the “Next Seven Wonders” of
the world feature two concert halls, a museum, two stores, a church
and a hotel.  They are:

• Tenerife Auditorium, a curving, soaring concert hall on Santa
  Cruz de Tenerife in the Canary Islands.
• The Kunsthaus contemporary art museum in Graz, Austria, a blue,
  other-worldly building with light flowing in from 16 nozzles,
  dubbed the “Friendly Alien” by locals.
• The six-storey Prada tower in Tokyo with a facade made from
  diamond-shaped grids of glass, some concave, others convex,
  illuminated from within at night.
• The Jubilee Church in Rome, comprising three concrete shells,
  soaring skylights and glass exterior walls that fill the church
  with light.
• The Selfridges store in Birmingham, England, a futuristic pod of
  a building with 15,000 glittering aluminium disks covering its
  wavy walls.
• Hotel Unique in Sao Paulo, a boat-shaped semicircle, complete
  with round nautical-style windows.
• Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, known
  for its acoustics and reflective stainless steel panels.

Is there anywhere you’d like to nominate as the next wonder of the
world?  The Beetle would like to nominate the Gherkin, also
known as the erotic gherkin, or more properly known as the Swiss Re
Tower in the City of London.  Let the Beetle know and we
will compile a list for next month’s e-news.
