Sunday Stamps | Modern Buildings

Today's Sunday Stamps is dedicated to Modern Architecture. I think I found a handful of buildings that can fit:

United Kingdom, 1987

This stamp belongs to the set British Architects in Europe, and features the Neue Staatsgalerie ('New State Galerie') in Stuttgart, Germany, designed by James Stirling. It was constructed between 1979 and 1984.

Canada, 1999

The Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia (UBC) campus in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The museum was officially founded in 1947. In 1976, its new building, designed by renowned Canadian architect Arthur Erickson, opened. 

Poland, 2005

Silesian Theatre (Teatr Śląski) is the largest theatre in Silesia. It is located on the market square in Katowice. It was built in 1905–1907, from plans by German architect Carl Moritz.

Netherlands, 2013

These stamps belong to the multi-year series Grenzeloos Nederland, dedicated to Belgium in 2013. At left, the MAS (Museum aan de Stroom) in Antwerp (Belgium), executed by the Dutch firm Neutelings Riedijk Architecten. At right, a sketch of Museum Hoenderloo (1923), the unexecuted design for a museum on the Veluwe by the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde.

United Kingdom, 2017

Two stamps from the Landmark Buildings set. Above, the Library of Birmingham, opened in 2013. It has been described as the largest public library in the United Kingdom, the largest public cultural space in Europe, and the largest regional library in Europe.

Below, the Everyman Theatre in Liverpool. It was closed in 2011 to be completely rebuilt, and reopened in 2014. The Stirling Prize from the Royal Institute of British Architects for the best British building of the year was awarded to Haworth Tompkins for their work on the new Everyman.

United Kingdom, 2017

Slovakia, 2018

Všeobecná úverová banka, a.s. (abbreviated as VÚB or The Bank) is a retail and commercial bank domiciled in Slovakia with its registered office at Mlynske Nivy 1, Bratislava. The 23-floors building was completed in 1996.

France, 2021

This stamp features the French pavillon in the Expo 2020, which had the theme Lumière, Lumières ('Light, Enlightment'), created by Atelier Perez Prado et Celnikier & Grabli Architectes. Afterwards, it had to be removed and relocated to Toulouse.
