Lol, wicked houses there! My favorites were the Klein Bottle House in Victoria, Australia and the Mind House in Barcelona Spain

Cool... ;D I love the Russian wooden one, though I wouldn't feel very safe up there. The Sagrada Familia is really worth a look all around, too, each one of its sides being in a different style. And that stone house in Portugal, wow! I'm a little surprised to see the stadium and Biosphere there though, lol... If I were to choose, the building in Montreal that's the most unusual to me is Habitat 67.  |

I wonder how much mathematics and physics goes behind those buildings to keep them stable  Or it could be very simple at the same time. |

My favs are actually : 03(Mind house), 06(Crooked house), 09(Forest spiral building), 14(Turning Torso) and 18(The Agbar Tower). I also liked Habitat 67: very cool and nice usage of space. I wonder how large those "boxes" are, though... it must be really squeezy in there. |

The "Forest Spiral Building" was invented by a man - artist - called "Friedensreich Hundertwasser". He invented asome more buildings with this style, even a school, and his works look similar with his distinct style. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedensreich_HundertwasserBoth the "Mind House" and La Sagrada Familia cathedral are the works of famous Antonio GaudÃ. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_GaudiEdit : Ah, I see you can read the whole comments after clicking onto the photo itself ! |

Habitat 67 apartments don't seem smaller than the average appartment... According to the official website, the areas of residence range from 624 to 5000 square feet and each include one or more terrace(s). As you can guess though, these residences aren't cheap. ;D |
