Haha i knew Fed Square would make it onto the list
jeff in Australia

Not one from here…? Not even the Opera House..?
Oh the shame…sob…

Daz

jeff in Australia, ever been to Melbourne dickhead?

jeff in Australia

Yes I have… couldn’t wait to get out of it…
The dirt and the dullness seems to rub of on all of it’s citizens.
Or perhaps it is just the way they speak…
Not a nice place at all..
Which # is in Melbourne..?
Where are you from..?

Grey

#14 is in Melbourne, mate.
Federation Square, across from Flinders St Station.
-Grey.

jeff in Australia

Thank you Grey… It looks a lot smaller than I remember it…
If you are from Melbourne, guess not ALL citizens..
Cheers..

Whoa, Daz, Australia is a huge place, and not everyone is from Melbourne. Just because you live on a continent, say, the Americas, doesn’t mean you can pinpoint every building shown in a picture. The name-calling was unsolicited and juvenile. Grow up.

number 14 is fed square in melbourne…DERP :3

Shocked to see a building on here that I go by every day to go to school (#18). Especially since there are WAY weirder buildings here, like the space centre which actually looks like a landed spaceship.

ukenny

I think you mean another picture. Dont think Rotterdam (holland) has a space center
But there are more strange buildings in holland as well

Nateb123

Nope. I go by that exact building every day in Vancouver. It’s kind of hard to miss a building made of tilted cubes, especially in that yellow colour lol.

#23 Brussels Anatomium in Belgium, only one I could identify

inismor

It’s Atomium: Anatomium feels so…weird.

Sometimes when I see buildings like these I kinda wonder the designer is trying to say, mabe thats the respnse they wanted. Mabe they want us to wonder. Hmmmmmmm!!!!

I wish they would say where these buildings are located.

Oh Frank Ghery… One of Canada’s better exports.

And while I’m at it, on behalf of my countrymen, I’m so sorry about Justin Beiber.

Phideauxe

HaHa it’s ok. We’ll forgive you for Justin Bieber, because you did give us Pamela Anderson, not to mention Bob and Doug McKenzie. My 11 year old daughter wants to have Justin Bieber’s babies. I think that kid is the next Tiger Woods.

The Kansas City Library is the one with the books. It’s actually the parking garage for the library, but it does look cool
dadoo

4 is in canary islands, (santa cruz i think), 20 is in barcelona
Equalizer

#2 – Chinese Three Kings
Aphthakid

#7 Olympic Stadium, Montreal

Simon

If you only knew the price the people are paying for this failing structure that never really worked. The top keeps ripping and some huge concrete blocks are falling from the structure.

The leaning tower was supposed to be a bit longer and at a bit steeper angle so that the sheet covering the top could be lifted upwards but it never really worked.

Still an icon of Montreal =)

Annie

#6 ftw! I want to work there.

Where is Seattle’s own EMP building? That is one of the craziest I have ever seen!!!

HellHathNoFury

Where’s my Experience Music Project and SciFi Museum in Seattle, bro?
to appease me for your insolence, I shall take 8

Jess

wow, I never though #7 would be in this list, I get out of this building every day!
Uncle Fumbles

#13 is in Bilbao, Spain, #17 is in Seattle and #24 is in Minneapolis. They all have the same architect, Frank Gehry. I remember talking about him in my English class. Weird place to talk architecture; gotta love Penn State.

Libertariandude

Actually, I think #17 is Prague.

Uncle Fumbles

You’re right, my b. The Dancing House in Prague. Don’t know how I mixed that up with the Music Project.

OsoFromHell

I’m not sure, but #15 looks very similar to a House in Ritoque, Valparaíso, Chile…
[Chile ROCKS!]
