Arcana Nuevo is still at the very top of my list of examples of great architecture in Second Life, but Princeton University, and in particular the Alexander Beach house certainly give it a run for its virtual money. The way they played with lines, shapes, sound en the overall impression in the modernistic auditorium is brilliant. (In the slideshow this is the grey and orange building)
Other then the modernistic building they have several traditional Victorian buildings - A library, a small auditorium and a meeting room. Next to those is a strangely shaped building which looks like it has fallen over, housing a great collection of modern art presumably made by the students.
Last of the dozen great builds I've captured is the entrance/shop, where you can find all sorts of free clothes and avatars (some of them not even half-bad), and again, really great architecture, creating a colorful building with the help of strange shapes and a sort of optical illusion in the big window above the entrance. Well worth visiting and impressive work from the guys and gals at Princeton University.
