50+ More Unusual Buildings Architecture
After getting so many quality feedback on one of our past post over 80+ Strange and Fantastic Buildings Architecture It’s necessary to write this post about More Unusual Buildings Architecture as a quality addition to respective topic. As it’s very transparent that Architectural works are perceived as cultural and political symbols and works of art. Historical civilizations are often known primarily through their architectural achievements. Cities, regions and cultures continue to identify themselves with (and are known by) their architectural monuments. We are lucky to exist in a revolutionary generation where we have a chance to see pattern braking Architectural achievements by modern blood. When Modern architecture was first practiced, it was an avant-garde movement with moral, philosophical, and aesthetic underpinnings. The approach of the Modernist architects was to reduce buildings to pure forms, removing historical references and ornament in favor of functionalist details. 01. 02.

20 Tree House Pictures: Play-Club Plans to Big-Kid Houses « Dornob
Treehouses are more popular than ever, as play spaces for children but also as luxury hotel (and even house) designs for adults. Some of the most fantastic plans and ideas can be traced to specialist designers and builders – and pictures of their work can provide some of the best inspiration (as well as an informal visual guide) for do-it-yourself recreational, residential and commercial tree buildings. Blue Forest is one such company, but far from the only one. Their specialty seems to lie somewhere between playful little fantasy structures and big educational spaces for children engaged in wildlife observation, forest ecology and related nature-oriented pursuits. The trick is to find a balance between safe and fun – railings are a must, as are sturdy supports, but whimsy and asymmetry help make these places feel more organic and engaging for younger visitors in particular. Some are like mansions, fortresses or castles – just set up on stilts instead of sitting on the ground.
Ripley's Branson Odditorium Avoids Tornado -- Not That You Can Tell
There are many unbelievable items at the Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Odditorium in Branson, Mo., including a full-size stagecoach made of toothpicks and the world's largest ball of twine. Yet, what visitors find most unbelievable is how the building managed to narrowly avoid a tornado on Wednesday, according to FairCityNews.com. Gary Daily, who has managed the Odditorium since 1999, says the tornado came within 40 feet, but did not touch the building. Not that anyone can tell. RIPLEY'S GALLERY (Story continues below) Loading Slideshow Kathy Hayes' ToenailsLos Angeles-based anthropologist Kathy Hayes has toenails that are five inches long. "The building was erected in 1999 to look like it had been hit by an earthquake that hit another part of the state in 1812," Daily told HuffPost Weird News. The Odditorium was not touched by the tornado, but Branson visitors are forgiven if they mistakenly think the Ripley's building was the one hit. "It's interesting watching people go by," Daily admitted.

Space Saving Tiny Apartment, New York | Interior Designs And Home Ideas
This tiny but highly sophisticated studio apartment in the East Village of NYC has made us very proud, thanks to JPDA. Not only was it built as a super efficient multi-functional unit but with the use of detailed mill work, the storage capacity was very cleverly executed and resulted in a super stylish studio with a decent amount of floor space. Shouldn’t all NYC dwellers aim to live like this? You decide… A schematic rendering demonstrates a realistic plan for this tiny apartment. Although we’re not too sure how realistic that cubbyhole at the crown of the loft is in a NYC apartment building, the rest of the space makes perfect sense. This tiny living/work space is beautifully masked with natural light and looks so inviting! This mezzanine bedroom is constructed with beautiful teak wood that houses hidden storage compartments… What great use of typically neglected storage space…. Well lit and highly efficient modern kitchen has beautiful appliances and plenty of counter space.

The 9 Hours Capsule Hotel in Japan
There's a new hotel in Kyoto (Japan) that's based on the concept that you only need 9 hours to rejuvenate. Guests at the new 9H Hotel check in, shower, sleep in a pod, refresh, and then leave. Presumably, all within 9 hours. Each guest is allotted one hour to shower, seven hours to sleep and a final hour to rest. Via:
