Unusual Buildings in the World

I loved these two chapels...fit perfectly the settings and context.



Chapel in the Rock (Arizona, USA).


Air Force Academy Chapel (Colorado, United States)


Container City (London, UK). I'm still fascinated by how old shipping containers can be used.


Habitat 67 is a housing complex located in Montreal, Quebec. It was designed by architect Moshe Safdie based on his master's thesis at McGill University and built as part of Expo 67.
Of course, Kerry and I saw this when we were at Expo 67...it seemed incredibly cool!



The Basket Building, Ohio, USA. The world’ s largest basket-shaped building is actually an office building housing the headquarters of Longaberger Basket Company.


Kansas City Public Library
