With the brush of a pencil, architects have the power to create the most majestic and unique buildings the world has ever seen. However, sometimes the theory on paper doesn’t always coincide with practicality, resulting in one-of-a-kind constructions that aren’t that comfortable to reside in.
The ‘Bizarre Buildings’ subreddit is full of such examples. However, it’s not a place to shame impractical designs but rather to celebrate how unusual and unique buildings can be. Scroll down to find the best of the bunch, and be sure to upvote the ones that charmed you the most!
While you’re at it, don’t forget to check out a conversation with Sean Waldron, partner and architect at Waldron Designs, who kindly agreed to tell us more about unique architecture.
