50+ More Unusual Buildings Architecture
After getting so many quality feedback on one of our past post over 80+ Strange and Fantastic Buildings Architecture It’s necessary to write this post about More Unusual Buildings Architecture as a quality addition to respective topic.
As it’s very transparent that Architectural works are perceived as cultural and political symbols and works of art. Historical civilizations are often known primarily through their architectural achievements. Cities, regions and cultures continue to identify themselves with (and are known by) their architectural monuments.
We are lucky to exist in a revolutionary generation where we have a chance to see pattern braking Architectural achievements by modern blood.
The Architecture expressed by the dreams, spirit and aspirations of a nation or a whole community stand as an expression of its core unique values in matter and the multiplicity of different styles and typologies found in modern Art reflect the socio-economic, cultural, ideological, ecological and climatic factors that have shaped us over 3 decades.
When Modern architecture was first practiced, it was an avant-garde movement with moral, philosophical, and aesthetic underpinnings. Immediately after World War I, pioneering modernist architects sought to develop a completely new style appropriate for a new post-war social and economic order, focused on meeting the needs of the middle and working classes. They rejected the architectural practice of the academic refinement of historical styles which served the rapidly declining aristocratic order.
The approach of the Modernist architects was to reduce buildings to pure forms, removing historical references and ornament in favor of functionalist details. Many architects resisted Modernism, finding it devoid of the decorative richness of ornamented styles.
As the complexity of buildings began to increase (in terms of structural systems, services, energy and technologies), architecture started becoming more multi-disciplinary. Architecture today usually requires a team of specialist professionals, with the architect being one of many, although usually the team leader.

Awesome. I especially liked #41. Keep finding these buildings, they are really interesting.
What a fantastic collection of unusual buildings. Thanks.
Great buildings.
I wish I personally see few of them.
Great article, pure love! I would love to see an article about contemporary — or modern — Dutch architecture. Keep up the good work!

I love Frank Lloyd Wright’s house. When I was little my mother had a picture of it as a fridge magnet. So, consequently I would see it just about every day. To live over a waterfall would be amazing.
Those are great, but…what about Casa da Música in Oporto, Portugal?!

Some buildings are just crazy. But great though. Happy that my small country (Luxembourg) made it into the list
Thank for sharing these marvelous architecture examples.
You might want to add a whole village of unusual architecture: La Grande Motte, a seaside resort in the South of France.
http://www.ot-lagrandemotte.fr/anglais/index.php
Here’s a link to a photo that epitomizes La Grande Motte’s architecture:

You should add the “Canadian National War Museum” from Ottawa, Canada
Loved #5. Beautiful
the thin house is so thin ??? loved 27,28,32,33, and many .. always wanted to be an architect but things dint work out so for some days ive been reading
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/architecture/
also.. i had read this quote one time.. don’t remember by whom
the best thing about architecture is that you can walk into your dreams…
The quality of pics above is quite high.
All of that, i know more places with “impressive” architectures via your pics.
I will choose one of this to set my desktop background.
Thank
Gran parte de los edificios son espectaculares pero feos se olvidan de lo humano y solo piensan en llamar la atencion, me gustan mucho el estilo de francia (muy artisticos), españa y brasil. y los de EU parecen que son para esenografia. Existen gran ingenio en cosas tan bellas y espectaculares como la casa de Frank loyd Write
Saludos desde Mexico
[Translation: Many of the ugly buildings are spectacular but they forget the human and the only think to call attention, I really like the style of France (very artistic), Spain and Brazil. and the U.S. look like they are for esenografia. There is great talent in things as beautiful and spectacular as the home of Frank Loyd Write
Greetings from Mexico]
Nice Collection. Could you add Canada Place in Vancouver?
These are awesome! It’s amazing what people can build.
Here are some more similar ones…
Broadcasting Tower in Leeds – Voted world’s best tall building. I don’t think it’s the best but its still great!
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-11606949

Some of these are really amazing, I would to see them in person. I was surprised the Experience Music Project building in Seattle didn’t make the list.
making it a goal to view and get inside of at least 6 of these buildings! the outside just makes me want to see the inside that much more..
