From the now-defunct Longaberger basket company’s iconic Ohio headquarters to the distinctive Casa de Penedo — Portuguese for “boulder house” — the world has no shortage of quirky, fanciful, and just plain strange structures.
Forthcoming from Hoxton Mini Press with text by Imogen Fortes, Weird Buildings celebrates more than 100 norm-busting buildings ranging from the whimsical to the wildly engineered.
“Whether playful or provocative, all the buildings in this book push at the boundaries of convention,” the publisher says. “From the fluid forms of Zaha Hadid’s mountaintop museum to a whimsical teapot-shaped service station, this is a playful and inspiring tour of the world’s weirdest—and most wonderful—architecture.”
Weird Buildings will be published on September 4. Pre-order your copy in the Colossal Shop.
