            16 Unbelievable Building Designs 

There is no need to adjust the computer screen,

because these  odd-shaped buildings are for real!

What were the architects thinking

when they designed these bizarre looking buildings is beyond me,

but they do have a certain artistic appeal

that we can at least appreciate from afar.

in one of these topsy turvy places!

At first glance, you might be wondering

if the laws of physics even apply to this odd-shaped church.

American sculptor Dennis Oppenheim,

defied gravity when he constructed the 25 foot (7.6 meter) church.

He wanted to build the chuch upside down to give

it a more aggressive appearance, rather than a blasphemous one.

Needless to say, not many of the native Alberta residents approved

of Dennis' idea!

which remains hidden from a distance.

You'll need to walk straight up to the house to see for yourself!
