My Selection is the Priory Chapel at Saint Louis Abbey in Creve Coeur, Missouri in 1955 by Gyo Obata. I think this particular building emphasizes rhythm and texture. The curves of the façade that extend into the interior and the lack of ornament create a nice even rhythm and smooth optical texture. The whitewash of the majority of the building creates a great color contrast against the green of the grass and trees.

Two arches 17 ft. wide and 1,225 ft long extending the entire length of this stadium combine to hold up the worlds largest retractable roof of 660.800 sq/ft.
Not to mention a 120 ft x 180 ft wall of glass on either end that opens on game day to welcome Cowboy fans. That is what I call scale. if you're the kind of guy who likes some ornament with your ball game check out the 72 x 160 ft LED video boards that stretch from 20 yard line to 20 yard line, and at the time were the worlds largest video boards.
