Architecture comes in all shapes and sizes and these are strangely unique buildings. picked by huffy 2 years ago

Stalinist architecture (also referred to as Stalin's Empire style or Socialist Classicism) is a term given to architecture of the Soviet Union between 1933, when Boris Iofan's draft for Palace of Soviets was officially approved, and 1955, when Nikita Khruschev condemned "excesses" of the past decades and disbanded the Soviet Academy of Architecture. picked by wookiee 3 years ago

If only the world of Willy Wonka were real, with skyscrapers made from caramels, chocolate rivers and cities built of shortcake and whipped cream. Living in an edible world is only a dream, but these 10 examples of architecture made from food show that smaller scale versions can be almost as fun. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Photos of, well, New York architecture, that look to be from a good while ago (I'm no good at judging time). Giant boats, old time sailors, propellor planes, bilmps, etc.

This is one of the strangest-looking and coolest pieces of architecture you'll ever see. And, it solves a housing problem and fills the urban space with actual green. picked by eyanna7 2 years ago

Researchers have discovered an important element for making night vision possible in nocturnal mammals: the DNA within the photoreceptor rod cells responsible for low light vision is packaged in a very unconventional way. That special DNA architecture turns the rod cell nuclei themselves into tiny light-collecting lenses, with millions of them in every nocturnal eye. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Architecture isn’t just about architects. It’s human, it’s organic – it’s all about add-ons! Here are a number that you may find questionable. Then again, you may find them wonderful, unique and a tribute to the individual in all of us. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

"The Nazis, who dismissed much of the customary decoration and used only the raw, muscular elements, exaggerated the classical Roman style, which portrayed their ideal image of a strong, warlike state." picked by IlliterateMook 1 year ago

Game developers are unconstrained in their designs for the enemy. Such designers will be punished with poor sales, not death in the gulag, if their designs for the overlord are unpopular. They could go anywhere with the homes of evildoers: halls of electric fluorescence, palaces carved from corduroy, suburban back yards. picked by bornbad 1 year ago

British artist Richard Wilson created one of the most amazing public art ever, using a building in the Liverpool city center:

The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK, Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson’s most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool’s city centre literally inside out. picked by bingo 1 year ago

What happens when art and architecture converge, and artists are left to their own devices to transform a structure inside and out? A wild and bizarre display of works for one of the world’s most architecturally unique exhibitions, creating habitat-like structures and architectural environments that are mental and perceptual spaces as much they are physical. picked by AutumnLotus 2 years ago

Narrow-minded architecture can be brilliant, indeed picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

Monastic architecture is often spectacular, an attribute seemingly at odds with the ascetic lifestyle of its adherents. Time is a harsh mistress and after centuries of war, religious strife and natural disasters, only the strongest - and strangest - have survived. For that at least, we may be thankful. picked by AutumnLotus 1 year ago

We all know that we shouldn't "drink and drive", but these guys definitely should not "drink and build"! picked by Bornbad 2 years ago
