Occasionally, you come across architecture that is so unique and awe-inspiring as to be instantly recognisable. It's true for the Sydney Opera House, the Shard, the Empire State Building, the Burj Al Arab; buildings of such startling originality that they come to define a culture, a movement or a generation. In other words, an 'icon'. These buildings have often been photographed many times before, so it can be a challenge to find an original angle. Good luck.
