The cost to design and construct these buildings...Million$.
A sense of humor and an architecture degree...priceless!

Suzanne I love these buildings. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. I showed them to a co-worker and she just laughed her head off.

Great photos...I was ready for you to say they are not even real, but I guess they are. Amazing...

Suzanne, I'm aware of the Longaberger building but not the others. Thanks for the library picture because I'm from Kansas City originally and I've never seen that building.

It's hard to believe those are real buildings. I bet they stop traffic- at least for out of towners.

Don't you just love the architect of buildings...you wonder what they had in mind when they were developing them. Creative and Cool! Thanks for showing me!

Suzanne, Nick Pappas alerted me to your post because of the photo you have of our library in Kansas City. Great post! I'm glad Nick told me about it. This would actually fit in the Architecturally Interesting Group, if you'd like to post it over there. Love the giant picnic basket in Ohio.

Don and Robert - Interesting they are, BUT for the life of me I can't understand why the Wonderworks Building is designed to look upside down. Do you?

Suzanne, It was built as a museum so called a fun-loving museum with over 100 action exhibits inside. There is a ton of information when you do a Google search but it does not give a lot of info on why except to draw attention. Of course it does.

Don - It is a fun looking entrance. Thanks for the explanation.
Andy - The BEST buildings I ever lived near in Virginia and Pennsylvania were ordinary looking. The one is Houston is an architectural feat. That building would be an impressive marketing statement for a demolition company!
