We are looking for the REAL architecture wonders of the world. This is the official Blueprint Leaderboard, where I conduct a forensic architectural audit of the world’s most iconic structures, ranking each site out of 50 based on professional criteria: Architecture, Craftsmanship, Interior, Global Impact, and the On-Site Experience.

Who am I to pass such comment? I am the award winning Architect Jack Thompson. Son of a builder, I have worked on building sites since my teens. I took an apprenticeship in plastering before going to university where I studied architecture. On completion I worked for award winning architecture firms before starting my own and winning design awards of my own. This is Backpackers Blueprint. Get involved.

This is purely an architectural exercise and not a commentry on the importance of the religious use of any building. It is all personal opinion and only made up of buildings actually visited.
