*Bronx_Bomber* Posted October 1, 2009 Posted October 1, 2009 Oh, I really need to bring this thread back to life, it's awesome!! I see I'm not the only one who LOVED this staircase/bookshelf thing. It's so awesome! Some time ago, there was a list of the most interesting/crazy buildings in the world, made by some American architecture magazine... guess what won? Obviously, Poland haha, to be more specific, a building in Sopot (the city which is known from music festivals-worse with every year, but I won't say more; it's situated by the sea ) called "Krzywy dom". I guess people who see it for the first time should not be drunk, cause otherwise... Here it is: I think the building at #2 was a library that is in US, and it looks like the building is upside down? Unfortunately, I don't have pics of it, and can't find the link where I read about it Layla,this pictures looks like it could possibly be from Lewis Carroll's imagination.Wicked. (Y) Quote

Not that that's a bad thing - I think it would be great to live there! Quote

penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 ^^ i have seen that!! isnt it called, rather aptly, 'the world'?? anyways, i love it.ive been thinking for a few years now since the waters are going to rise sooner or later... creating things like this would bevery beneficial to our world <as well as cool as shit!!> well.. i went on a bizaare architecture hunt.. and i found some DOOZIEs!!! my fave out of all i found is designer Pierre Cardin's 'bubble house' in cannes. the organic, rounded shapes are always sooo apealing to me.. maybe because i wasnt breastfed or something? but anyways.. id sell my soul to dick cheney *you know, Satan* to live in this house Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 this ones called 'the mushroom house' and i do believe whoever designed and built it was 'Shrooming' actually, it looks very whimsical and fun Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 this house is for real.. its called 'the cantilever' its a real building, no joke. theres something in the beams that run across the house that keep it stable Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 dude, somebody realLy built an Escher home man, what a mindjob!@ Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 this modern, human size 'Habitrail' is actually a polish radio station. cool as hell! Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 this house was designed to resemble an orchid.. so ironically, its called 'the blue orchid house' i think its quite lovely and peaceful Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 i admire the ingenuity of this houses' materials rather than its design aesthetic. its made out of transport pallets. freaking genius reuse of materials, and i would assume, very reasonably priced to manufacture heres to going 'green'!

penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 i know this house looks like a family of hobbits should live in it, but its a real dwelling, no shit. i dont know where its located, but im in love Quote
penny-dreaddfull Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 'the treehouse restaurant' id like to smoke a doobie and go on up and have pancakes Quote
