Gates Hall by Robert Gray licensed under the terms of CC BY 2.0
This week’s crazy building is Gates Hall in Ithaca, NY. Built in 2014 and named after (who else?) Bill and Melinda Gates, this unusual structure looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

This week’s crazy building is Heydar Aliyev Center in Baku, Azerbaijan. This unusual site is the brainchild of world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, famous for the curves and unusual structure of her architecture.

The ArtScience Museum by William Cho licensed under the terms of CC BY-SA 2.0
This week’s crazy building is the ArtScience Museum in Singapore. Located at Marina Bay Sands, this attraction resembles a gigantic lotus flower lifted high above the water.

Tokyo Big Sight by heiwa4126 licensed under the terms of CC BY 2.0
This week’s crazy building is the Tokyo Big Sight in Tokyo, Japan. While it may look like some futuristic spacecraft or a supervillain headquarters, it’s actually a convention center—the largest one in all of Japan.

This week’s crazy building is From the Knees of my Nose to the Belly of my Toes in Margate, England. This 4-story house is as bizarre as the name itself.

This week’s crazy building is the South Australian Health & Medical Research Institute in Adelaide, Australia. It looks like either a cheese grater or one of those big old-style microphones, but this building actually houses a state-of-the- art research facility.

Sunday, 28 December 2014 by Gary Kent
This week’s crazy building is the Incheon Tri-Bowl near Seoul, South Korea. Finished in 2010, this highly unusual structure is quite aptly named: it’s made up of three bowl shapes that connect in the middle, arching over a large reflecting pool. The building has several levels of meaning: the three bowls represent the air/land/sea, the
