From the now-defunct Longaberger basket firm’s iconic Ohio headquarters to the distinctive Casa de Penedo — Portuguese for “boulder house” — the world has no scarcity of quirky, fanciful, and simply plain unusual buildings.
Forthcoming from Hoxton Mini Press with textual content by Imogen Fortes, Bizarre Buildings celebrates greater than 100 norm-busting buildings starting from the whimsical to the wildly engineered.
“Whether playful or provocative, all the buildings in this book push at the boundaries of convention,” the writer 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.”
Bizarre Buildings can be printed on September 4. Pre-order your copy within the Colossal Store.
