Strange is good. Conventional is boring.

From 150 Strange Buildings of the World comes this collection of eye-openers.

The Free Spirit Spheres always make me think of Riven whenever I see them.

One of my favorite examples of brilliant creativity is Vienna’s Gas Tank City. Constructed in1896, and used to store the gas that supplied Vienna, these four giant gasometers are now used as modern and original living spaces.

These places always reminded me vaguely of the concept of arcologies, most prominently featured in SimCity 2000.

The Old Wolf has spoken.
