Eye Candy

Okay, I totally borrowed these pics from an email a dear friend sent to me. But who can blame me? I find these buildings to be completely amazing!



1. Mind House ( Barcelona , Spain )




2. The Crooked House ( Sopot , Poland )




3. Stone House ( GuimarĂ£es , Portugal )




4. Lotus Temple ( Delhi , India )




5. Cathedral of Brasilia ( Brazil )




6. La Pedrera ( Barcelona , Spain )




7. Atomium ( Brussels , Belgium )




8. Museum of Contemporary Art ( Niteroi , Rio de Janeiro , Brazil )




9. Kansas City Library ( Missouri , USA )




10. Low impact woodland house ( Wales , UK )




11. Guggenheim Museum ( Bilbao , Spain )




12. Rotating Tower, ( Dubai, UAE)


"Have you ever seen a building in motion that actually changes its shape?
This building will never appear exactly the same twice. It is amazing but you will have the choice of waking up to sunrise in your bedroom and enjoying sunsets over the ocean at dinner. In addition to being such an incredible engineering miracle it will produce energy for itself and even for other buildings because it will have wind turbines fitted between each rotating floor (picture 2). So an 80-story building will have up to 79 wind turbines, making it a true green power plant."

14. Casa da musica (Porto, Portugal)

  4. Wow! These are absolutely stunning. I love the library. I also love that one of my favorites is #10 (looks like a house out of a fairytale or sometihng), which is definitely not one of the flashier buildings.
