10 weird buildings with curious shapes
An imposing building need not only be large. Some of them around the world have become tourist attractions due to their curious format. The Oddee website has prepared a selection of 10 buildings around the planet that draw attention for the different way they were built. Which one is the most bizarre of all?
The Hashtag Tower (Seoul, South Korea)
One of the most imposing buildings in the South Korean capital is The Hashtag Tower. Two large towers make up the main building, which has two suspended connections between the buildings. The result is a hashtag-like tower (#).
Elephant Builiding (Bangkok, Thailand)
Although not as beautiful, the elephant-shaped building in Thailand also catches the eye of those passing by. The building was erected in 1997.
Ren Building (Shanghai, China)
Presented in 2010, the Ren Building is a hotel as well as a convention center. The purpose of the project is to show two buildings that emerge from the water and form a unique building. It is currently still under construction.
Swastika Building (California, United States)
The photo venture was built to be one of the US Navy headquarters and, according to the architects, the fact that it formed a Nazi swastika when viewed from above was unintentional. A popular motion called on the government to change the layout of the buildings and at least $ 600, 000 will be invested in renovations.
Wing Shape Zayed National Museum (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates)
Still under construction, the Wing Shape Zayed National Museum will have five wing-shaped towers that simulate mountains by far. The architecture was designed so that solar and wind energy are harnessed, completely eliminating the use of electricity.
The Dancing House (Prague, Czech Republic)
The shapes of The Dancig House, located in Prague, Czech Republic, resemble two dancers. The building was built in 1996 and, before the work was completed, its original name would be Fred and Ginger, named after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers.
COR Building (Miami, Florida)
Valued at $ 40 million, COR is still a project that, when completed, will have 25 floors. Residential property, each housing should cost between $ 400 thousand and $ 2 million. It is estimated that the building will have 113 apartment units.
Wood Skycraper (Vancouver, Canada)
Another project that promises to attract many visitors if it is built is the Wood Skycraper in Canada. The proposal of architect Michael Green is that the project is built in wood, minimizing the costs of the work.
Coin Building (Abu Dahbi, United Arab Emirates)
Opened in 2010, the building located in the city of Abu Dahbi, UAE, was built in the shape of a coin and is considered the first circular skyscraper in the world.
Egg Building (Shanghai, China)
The structure took five years to build and today houses the National Center for Performing Arts. The resort has an opera house, a concert hall and a theater.
