10 Wackiest Buildings in the World
1. The Nakagin Capsule Tower: 2. Habitat 67: 3. The Robot Building: 4. The Dancing House: 5. The Crooked House:
Located in Sopot, Poland. Inspired by various fairytale drawings and built by Polish architects Szotyńscy Zaleski, this strange-looking building actually houses a multitude of bars, cafes, and shops. However, I imagine most of the visual appeal is offered from the outside, rather than within.
6. The Longaberger Company/The Basket Building: 7. Steel House:
Designed and built by artist Robert Bruno, and situated in Lubbock, Texas. Born from an idea that Bruno had upon completing a steel sculpture, he wondered what it would be like if he could walk through it. Weighing in at 110 tons of steel, it was constructed by welding steel plates onto a pre-built dome-like centre structure.
9. Golden Pyramid House:
Wadsworth, Illinois. This odd structure is apparently a privately-owned residence, although at one time it may have been host to tours and even have operated a gift shop. However, these days the large front gate is forebodingly shut.
10. The Mushroom/Tree house:
