So am I. Unfortunately, that would require an extensive session of google-fu, as I do not offhand know of any central repository for that kind of information.
So far, I have found out that the former ACC has a brain-hurtingly clever design that allows the outer walls to support the roof without any heavy lateral bracing, and that roof is so strong that MLSE were able to hang two banks of luxury boxes from the trusses as an afterthought when the building was redesigned whilst still under construction. So I
think that counts as one. I shall have to look at the others over time.
