A wonderful collection of the world’s most unusual buildings.
There are numerous incredible buildings in the world that are known for their far-out shapes, awe-inspiring designs, and unique styles. We have compiled some of the most remarkable structures in the world you love to visit.
Pietragalla, Italy
Pietragalla is the town of the fantastic “Palmenti”, in the local dialect defined as “rutte”, cellars-caves dug into the rock still used today for the conservation of wine. The palmenti are a complex of underground structures, which originate in the first half of the nineteenth century.
UNIKATO Residential Building by KWK Promes
Apartment building in Poland.
Unikato is supposed to stand in the center of Katowice – once a dynamically developing industrial city. The testimony of that era is the impressive modernist buildings. Today, the city is experiencing a demographic crisis and suffers from sub-urbanization. There is a lack of new residential buildings, and the city is subordinated to car traffic generated by people coming here every day to work from the sprawling suburbs. Unikato is an impulse to reverse this negative trend and breathe new life into the area.
Idea. Modernist buildings of Katowice, once bright, for many years exposed to the smog, gradually got dirty and became almost black. Their white windows always contrast with the black of the facade. This observation has become an inspiration for the project.
Concrete Discs, Netherlands
Frans de Wit, the artist charged with designing this recreational combination of a rock-climbing facility and look-out point, went on to produce a fine example of landscape art. The climbing wall consists of irregularly stacked concrete blocks, and casts made of actual mountaineering rocks in the Ardennes. The look-out point is reached up an artificial hill forming part of a training circuit. Narrow steps wedged between two gigantic concrete discs 26 meters in diameter provide an alternative way up. This vertical thrust offsets the horizontal trails of rubble across the hill.
“Flying house”
“Flying house” by Annunzio Lagomarsini. His wife wanted to see the sea and always have sunlight in the living room.
To do that, Italian retired builder Annunzio Lagomarsini decided to apply all his knowledge into a flying house which took him seven years to build and which he then inhabited with his wife.
