Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking?

Hmmm.
I've always loved the looks of the rega P25 with cherry. Slightly retro, but nice clean, timeless lines. 1275 new

The clear acrylic Basis 1400 with vector arm is the best looking at any price. It has a frosted platter, a clear acrylic body, and rests on three brushed aluminum cones. It's fairly small & looks like a piece of art. 2k?

For 3K, I would have to choose the rega p9. I just like small tables. I might also go with the 'classic' linn lp12.

For prices above that I'll pick my all black Basis 2500 with graham 2.2 arm. It's reasonably sized, and looks like something Porshe would design.

Not for a living room, but the most impressive looking TT is the Rockport Sirius. Also head and shoulders the best sounding component source I've heard. The owner played a $7500 and a $20,000 cd player side by side with it. Wasn't even close.

I am an architect, and i have a rega p25, and a new p9. Does this mean anything? I don't think so...

There are a lot of gorgeouos turntables and you may want to look at one of the turntable galleries on the web. Assuming new the most beautiful table under 3000 is the audiomeca romance and arm imo which I own. You really should take a look. For the lesser prices you probably have to get used, but consider the oracle. In very expensive, the vpi top of the line is pretty pleasing. Pictures of the clearaudio are not to my liking but may be yours. The verdier is very interesting but some think a bit mechanical looking.

Teres Audio is the simplest and coolest looking.

I like the Rega TT's at all price points you specify. Small, clean lines, and with a good cartridge and phono-pre, the sound is excellent. My P-25 fits perfectly with my Dainish and Swedish furnishings.

If you are looking for a TT that makes a statement (like sculpture), take a look at the Teres Audio web site. They have very good photos (and a sonic reputation that matches).
