There are farfelu buildings. Really strange and seemingly unnecessarily strange. It seems that these days, architects often choose to design shocking or perplexed buildings, rather than beautiful or practical. Again, can you blame them? We all want to be unique and unusual, so why should they be different? Let's look at some examples of the most unexpected architecture creations around the world.

1. Dunmore Ananas (Stritlingshire, Ecole)

It's a purely decorative building, what you would call a madness. It is also called "the most bizarre building" in Scotland. I mean, why would anyone have a pineapple-shaped building in Scotland from all places. And it was built in the middle of the eighteenth century, so we surely know that it is not a wacky tribute to mop Bob. Pineapple is a work of art that has been manufactured with great care. It is made of stone, and every individual lead and detail of the pineapple are carved in a way that prevents water from accumulating, so that the building is not damaged in the colder months, when temperatures are less than freezing.

2. Music Music Experience (Seattle, Washington, USA)

The EMP museum building was designed by Frank O.Gehry. The exterior of the building is locked up in 400 tons of stainless steel and aluminum shingles made custom made. If you had to melt down and make the Banjo string, it would be long enough to give you a quarter of the path of Venus. Stainless steel and painted aluminum panels change color depending on how light typically, it is supposed to represent the constant change in music and tell us how it evolves and changes all the time.

3. Solar furnace (Odeillo, France)

This cool building was built by Felix Tombre, a French engineer. The shape of this building is not a coincidence. It is actually designed in this way, so that all mirrored surfaces can reflect sunlight and focus it in a place, the size of a baking pot. This place is on the building in front of it and it reaches crazy temperatures of 3500 degrees Celsius. This building is often used by various companies, agencies and scientists for their experiences. If you're wondering how useful it can be, well, let's just say that NASA uses it, so it must be really impressive.

4. CCTV Tour - China Central Television Headquarters (Beijing, China)

This 44-storey skyscraper is not a regular skyscraper, as you can say. It is actually a loop of 6 different horizontal and vertical structures, which create this strange form with a hole in the middle. It was designed by 2 European architects and was first considered too dangerous to be built due to the high seismic activity, but at the end of the project was approved and the building was built. It is often considered an excellent example of cooperation. One of the architects who designed the building stated that this building "could never have been designed by the Chinese and could never have been built by Europeans. It is a hybrid by definition ".

5. Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles, California, USA)

This glorious metal building was designed by the one and only Frank O. Gehry, the same person who designed the EMP museum in Seattle. Clearly, this guy loves enormous and reflective metal structures. He did a wonderful job with this building, except that in the original design, some walls were mats and reflections. When it was built for the first time, they met a small problem. The light, reflected by shiny walls chaining the complexes of apartments nearby to suffer with glare and overheating, so they had to make changes and make the whole building. Anyway, this concert hall is used for all kinds of performance and acoustics here is said incredible.

6. Forest spiral building (Darmstadt, Germany)

This is probably the cooler apartment building in Germany. Its design does not follow the traditional rules. It's strange shape and color stands out between other buildings, not to mention the fact that all windows seem to be placed in random order and are all shaped differently. The coolest thing about this building is the roof. There is a reason why it's called "Waldspirale", which means "Forest Spiral" in English. The roof of the building houses all kinds of plants, trees, grass and flowers. Is not it great? You are never too far from nature, "because it's literally above you, on your roof.

7. The basket building (Ohio, USA)

This building houses LonGaberger, a company that manufactures and sells hand-made maple and wood baskets. It is a perfect example of great marketing. If you sell baskets, why not look like your desk with a huge basket? More companies should take this strategy. Just think that the world's more interesting would look, and you always knew exactly what building you walk.

8. Air Force Academy Chapel (Colorado, USA)

It is difficult to believe that this futuristic building was built in 1962. It is even more difficult to believe that it is a chapel. We are used to chapels in search of all traditional, but not to this one. This chapel has different spaces inside, created to meet the needs of people of different religions. There are three main levels inside. The upper level is for Protestants, the environment is divided between Catholics, Jews and Buddhists, and the bottom is used for Islamic services, and there are 2 other rooms for "other" religions. The coolest thing about it is that you can have services at all levels at the same time, without interfering.

How is cool of this railway?! I mean, seriously, have you ever seen a railway station that looks awesome? I did not do it well.
