7 Amazingly Unique Pieces Of Architecture Around The World – Part 1

This world never misses proving itself to be amazingly bizarre at times. Innumerable novel and peculiar things show up to be invented and created on this earth. Some of them are utterly natural phenomena and some of them are brought into being by humans. You all must be aware of the fact that humans often blend the mixture of art and science in the form of architecture.

Just reminding you this blend leading to amazing things in the world, down here we have listed seven amazingly unique pieces of architecture around the world:

1. Kansas City Public Library (Missouri, United States)

What a great aura it would give standing outside and gazing at this thoughtfully built shade of architecture? It’s the earliest and the third largest library of the area. Wondering which books are featured on the outside? Well, the public itself was made to decide and nominate the books that they felt did best impersonate their city. This ‘Community Bookshelf’ features 22 books that were suggested by its citizens. The final selection of this giant bookshelf was done on March 16, 2004.

 2. Aqua Building, Downtown Chicago, Illinois

This amazing shade of this modern type of architecture was started being built in 2007 and ended in 2009. It’s a hotel, residential, retail and office altogether. This magnificent skyscraper is 87-story high and was designed by an architecture team headed by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang Architects along with James Loewenberg of Loewenberg & Associates as the Architect of Record. No wonder this amazing building was shortlisted in 2010 for the biannual International Highrise Award.

3. Tower Infinity, Incheon, South Korea

 

The ‘invisible’ tower in Korea is designated as the World’s first invisible tower ever. Thinking why is it called so? Well, let us not make you wait and tell why this ‘little baby’ is called as ‘invisible tower’. This skyscraper has been designed with special LED screens and HD cameras that make it in the real sense disappear into the skyline. It is just an illusion. It got permission from the South Korean government to be built in September 2013. Basically, focused on leisure and entertainment purpose, this skyscraper got only the approval for its construction and the design by GDS already has the first prize in a National Design Competition sponsored by Korea Land Housing Corporation. Its image is nothing but just a computer rendering of it.
