Most Weird Architecture Building Designs

Good architecture is a way to impress people. There are some buildings and sculptures that really don’t seem real, being as impressive as they are. Sometimes you might think it is impossible for a building to look like that, as some models look so twisted. Of course besides them having weird shapes and designs, architects have to think about their usability and safety. Architecture might seem rigid from the design point of view, because of the factors I have already mentioned, but creative people always find a workaround and they make their creations fun and at the same time safe to use. This is why they are up to break all the rules and go for something impressive and strange at the same time. Check out a series of photos depicting amazing architectures from all over the world. I myself was impressed to be honest.

Dutch studio MVRDV recently won a competition to design the Comic and Animation Museum in Hangzhou, China. With a population of 6.4 million inhabitants, Hangzhou is the capital of China’s animation industry, and MVDRV’s new museum pays tribute to its rising relevance and popularity.

The speech bubble-inspired design includes eight balloon-shaped sections that form almost 100,000 sq ft of museum space. Each balloon contains a different function, including two exhibition spaces that display cartoons, comics, and animations.

The permanent exhibition space spirals out of its chamber and connects with three auditoriums, as well as a comic book library. An interactive section allows visitors to test out blue screens, stop motion animation, and other animation techniques. No doubt, the most awesome section is the 3D zoetrope. It's where visitors can interact with holographic projections and games!

Tree Trunk-Inspired Buildings Connect Underground

The best architectural designs don't need to look overcomplicated, they just need to be effective. This sleek pair of 17-story office buildings in Seoul by South Korean firm BCHO architects is a perfect example.

The architects took inspiration from an old Korean birch tree trunk, organic and sculpted as if molded by flowing water. The design allows the structures to efficiently utilize the irregular site conditions, which are composed of vaguely acute angles.

With a heavy amount of pedestrian activity in the area, a space was intentionally placed between the buildings to minimize above-ground disruptions. What's really extraordinary, that you wouldn't know by just looking at them, is that the two buildings share seven basement levels below-ground, and there is a linear pathway that connects them!
