“Norddeutsche Landesbank Building”, Behnisch Architects, Hannover, Germany
At street level, you barely notice that there is anything out of the ordinary with this building. Step away, however, and look at the building from a distance and you’ll see a 70 meter-high, 75,000 square-meter behemoth whose different floors jut out at impossible angles.

'Geisel Library’, William L. Pereira & Associates, La Jolla, California, 1970
Architect William Pereira was the creator of many a memorable building—the Transamerica Pyramid tower in San Francisco, CBS's Television City in Hollywood, and Pepperdine University in Malibu, to name a few. The unique futuristic design is representative of hands holding up books.

In 1988 a terrible earthquake totally destroyed huge areas of Gyumri. While all the surrounding buildings of the Polytechnic Institute were destroyed, the fountain was not damaged. Homeless people settled in huts around the fountain in the "Fountain District". Some of them are still there.

“Sonora House”, Envisioned by Moscow-based architect Davit Jilavyan and designer and visualizer Mary Jilavyan. Originally commissioned by a young family in Sonora, Mexico who wanted a bold house with classic geometries. The project was suspended halfway through the design phase, but the Jilavyans decided to finish the rendering all the same.

Belgian photographer Filip Dujardin manipulates images of urban space to produce realistic future scenarios, yet with absurd and grotesque elements. Dujardin’s monstrous architectural structures feature overlapped and repetitive elements, reducing the functionality of the building in order to question its very purpose.
