Architecture of the new age brings about some fantastic ideas. We can see brilliant new works and abstractions being applied into everyday life. New age cities and even suburban areas are showing signs of transition.
However there are many structures out there today which stand as a little "off the norm". These are brilliant works of art which have dumbfounded audiences worldwide. And although I am certainly not an architect, it's quite simple to appreciate the magnificence of each.

Brilliant, even if their only purpose is to make life a littele less serious. Great, collection.
Hey Scott great point! I enjoy the architecture photography just as well. It's a great way to relax a bit and enjoy the beauty of human development.
The "Hole House" wasn't a functioning building, it was an art instillation done temporarily and only meant to be viewed from the outside. It was cool though. I lived down the street from it when it went up.
