Tuesday, 29 March 2016 by Gary Kent
Dorton Arena by Leah Rucker licensed under the terms of the CC BY-SA 3.0
This week’s crazy building is the J.S. Dorton Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina. Polish architect Maciej Nowicki designed an arena with the first cable-supported roof system on earth. Tragically, he was killed in a plane crash before construction began. Nowicki’s friend, another local architect named William Dietrick, was called upon make his vision a reality. Opened in 1952, Dorton Arena’s innovative design

This week’s crazy building is Azadi Tower in Tehran, Iran. This remarkable structure is also known as “Freedom Tower” and marks the west entrance to Iran’s capital city.

Palace of Winds by lensnmatter licensed under the terms of the CC BY 2.0
This week’s crazy building is the Palace of Winds in Jaipur, India. This incredibly ornate building (called Hawa Mahal in Hindi) is actually mostly just a wall. This elaborate facade is situated at the edge of the City Palace. It was built so that women in the royal household could watch the street festivals without

This Week’s Crazy Building: The Eden Project

Tuesday, 01 March 2016 by Gary Kent
Panoramic view of the geodesic biome domes at the Eden Project by Jürgen Matern licensed under the terms of the CC BY-SA 2.5
This week’s crazy building is the Eden Project in Cornwall, England. These massive structures look a bit like clusters of giant soap bubbles, but they’re actually a type of architecture called geodesic domes. They’re made of huge hexagon- and pentagon-shaped plastic cells (much like a soccer ball) and supported by steel beams. The domes are

Bundeswehr Military Museum by Kolossos licensed under the terms of the CC BY 3.0
This week’s crazy building is the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden, Germany. This building’s original use was as an armory in the 1870s, but believe it or not, it has been a museum since 1897. In that time, it’s been a Nazi museum, a Soviet museum and an East German museum, shifting every few

This Week’s Crazy Building: MI6 Building

Friday, 12 February 2016 by Gary Kent
MI6 Building by Dun.can licensed under the terms of the CC BY 2.0
This week’s crazy building is the MI6 Building in London, England. You may know this one better as the “James Bond” building. It’s been depicted in The World Is Not Enough, Skyfall and most recently as a ruin in Spectre. What you may not know is that this oddly-designed building really does house the British Secret Intelligence Service.

This Week’s Crazy Building: Borgund Stave Church

Friday, 05 February 2016 by Gary Kent
Borgund Stave Church by Tnarik Innael licensed under the terms of the CC BY-SA 2.0
This week’s crazy building is Borgund Stave Church in Borgund, Norway. The first crazy thing to note about this church is when it was constructed: around 1200 AD, making it 800 years old or more. Given that it’s made up completely of wood, it’s remarkable that it’s managed to remained standing (and never caught fire!)

This Week’s Crazy Building: Umeda Sky Building

Friday, 22 January 2016 by Gary Kent
Umeda Sky Building in Osaka by Brücke-Osteuropa Licensed Under the Terms of the CC0 1.0 Universal
This week’s crazy building is the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka, Japan. Those strange construction cranes aren’t cranes at all. They’re actually a part of the building! Specifically, they serve as fire escapes, bridges and escalators to help get around the massive structure. You may think they look unsightly, but you can’t argue with the
