I checked out some of Istanbul's new mosques. The Turks aren't afraid to experiment and build unconventional mosques. They look really cool. The Grand Mosque is also remarkable for being designed by women, which isn't exactly a common occurrence.

PS. The Bulgarian Iron Church isn't exactly new, but it's also pretty interesting. I was particularly impressed by the fact that the entire 500-ton structure was cast in Vienna and then shipped down the Danube to here.
