I love the Craftsman style. An example would be the Grand Californian Hotel at Disneyland. Here is a picture of the lobby at the hotel. Also two examples of homes.

American Gothic Revival... Here are some examples. This is the former Danvers State Lunatic Asylum in Danvers, MA just outside of Boston. This is part of the building that was saved and renovated to be used as condos. Unfortunately they demolished about 66% of the existing building. Can you imagine if this is only 1/3 of the original structure how huge it once was. The last pic (black and white) is the former Buffalo State Hospital. Another amazing sturcture!

I like many examples (but not all) of Post-modern architecture, some Deconstructivism as well. Being very specific though, I love the work of Richard Meier who can be classified as a Neo-Modernist or Neo-Corbu. Some of his many works include: The High Museum - Atlanta Museum of Television and Radio - Beverly Hills CA. San Jose City Hall. More about him here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Meier http://www.richardmeier.com/

I love log homes. I love rustic and smaller ones, kind of like the Adirondack lodges only much much smaller. I love high ceilinged great rooms and small cozy areas. I love homes with the feeling of the outdoors being an arm's reach away. Two cabins I like plus my own home:-)

I'm predominately a traditionalist. I think the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is a more traditional type.
-
I am partial to the simple, clean, elegant lines of traditional Japanese architecture.
-
I love stained glass, lots of wood, brick or stone..whatever architecture that would fall into is my favorite..I am not a fan of "moderne" where every ounce of warmth is stripped away to some medicinal antiseptic basic structure.:)

Japanese.

I love the Gamble House in California.
-
Not really...I have a lot. >.< I like the craftsmen style...or at least that's what I think it's called... I also like Asian style architecture (specifically Japanese). And finally Gaudi...I'm not sure if you would call him an architect, but he was an amazing artist who created his buildings...well...simply put, without straight edges. :)

Nomadic Turkish. Yurts are the bomb.

Mine favourite would have to be Art Nouveau. My absolute favourite building of all times is the Tassel House in Brussels, Belgium. It was built in 1892/1893. It is the first time iron was seen in domestic construction. The entablature is metal with completley exposed rivets, which had at the time never been seen before. The facade has got Classical elements such as the mouldings and columns. I love the way their are mixed so well. From the front of the street the house is not very obviously different, with just hints of what is to come. It is known for its open floor planning, which was still a new concept, its use of natural light and its interior decoration, such as the vine going up all the walls leading you up the stairs. He blurred the line between 2D and 3D as well as the interior and exterior. It is an absolutely beautiful piece of architecture and it is ground-breaking on many levels. You will definitely enjoy studying it!
