Anything Art Deco/Streamlined Moderne really, but specifically, I don't know. I guess I would like to see much larger scale models done for the theme, something like this guy's work. 

Now something though I'd really like to see done for the theme would be fictional, vignette-like skyline sets, just like this one Instagram user's work.

What would you like to see in the Architecture theme?

I want to see: 1. Stockholm syln, 2. Copenhagen syln, 3. Oslo syln, 4. Barcelona syln, 5. Paris syln, 6. Tokyo syln, 7. San Francisco syln, 8. Wellington syln, 9. LEGOLAND Billund acht, 10. Stockholm Public Library ldmk, 10+1. Studio II.

Stockholm, Barcelona and especially San Francisco would make for great Skyline sets if done properly. I'm struggling after this and suspect the line may have run its course. Shanghai looks good but Las Vegas? Please....

Paris I think has been well covered already with the Eiffel, Louvre and Arc d'Triomphe sets.

Billund sets are already out there if very limited to locality (airport, House etc.)

Personally, I'd like to see a return to larger-scale buildings of architectural interest, like Falling Water, Imperial Hotel, etc. although I accept they were probably a commercial fail compared with the recent well known smaller-scale models.

For me, the new Guggenheim strikes the right balance of size, complexity and parts/price ratio, following nicely on from the Louvre and before it, the Trevi Fountain (still one of my favourites). 

Was also disappointed the Venetian House submission for Ideas was rejected, and blindly hoping it was because there's a similar theme/concept already in progress in the Architecture line.

1. Israel (western wall, etc this would NEVER happen by the way)  2. Los Angeles (Hollywood sign, walk of fame) 3. San Francisco ( hills, coit tower, Alcatraz ) 4. Rome (coliseum, etc) 5. Some part of Canada (maybe Toronto? )

Here are a few particular architectural examples that would be cool to see as sets:

1. The Eastern Columbia Building                             
2. The Genesee Valley Trust Company Building                                                     
3. Helsinki Central Railway Station

I think the same. I absolutely agree with your whole text, Lucarex.
