30 Times Architects Made Buildings That Looked Unique But Were Uncomfortable To Live In (New Pics)
The world has its share of beautiful and ugly buildings. In the middle, there are ordinary and dull ones. And then, in a category entirely of their own, are the truly bizarre ones—the kind you need to see to believe.
When architects have complete freedom in their designs, things can get weird. Just like how we used to create crazy buildings with LEGO bricks as kids, the r/bizarrebuildings subreddit features architects bringing their wildest dreams to life. We've chosen some of our new favorite posts from the Reddit community to show you these unique designs and to bring about either light-hearted amusement or strong opinions.

The Reddit group has 158k members who share unique, bizarre, and stunning buildings. Ever thought of living in a crooked house or taking your children to a kindergarten shaped like a cat? Though it might be fascinating until monotony sets in or the discomfort becomes overwhelming.

Takes inspiration from columnar joints in basalt so common in Iceland.
Recent times have seen the creation of a diverse range of buildings, spanning from the merely odd to the truly unique. This shift in architectural style is largely attributed to architects' creative visions, backed by technological advancements. The once-restricting factors of precise measurements have been transformed with innovations like Virtual Reality (VR), which not only visualize complex designs but also streamline construction processes.

Urban design is more than just looks. Studies suggest that growing up in a city doubles the chances of developing schizophrenia and increases the risk of other mental disorders like depression and chronic anxiety. According to the BBC, "The main trigger appears to be what researchers call 'social stress' – the lack of social bonding and cohesion in neighborhoods. Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg at the University of Heidelberg has shown that urban living can change brain biology in some people, resulting in reduced gray matter in the right dosolateral prefrontal cortex and the perigenual anterior cingulate cortex, two areas where changes have previously been linked to early-life stressful experiences."

It's COR-TEN, a kind of steel that has high copper content, making its rust super-resistant to corrosion and giving a nice red shade to the rust. Basically once the first very thin layer oxidizes, the rust itself provide a better weather protection than any other method, and it's self repairing. Commonly used in architecture for its aesthetic qualities and aging performances.

Talking and spending time with others is really important for keeping your mind healthy. Same goes for urban design: "Social interaction is often achieved by concentrating groups of people in a single node or landmark so that it is suggested they interact with each other. Strategies for urban design to accommodate this can include higher density development, so that more people are concentrated in an area," shares Jonathan Monfries in his research paper 'The Psychological Effects of Urban Design.'

Forcing This Road To Surround Their House
Jrog 2 years ago
Quite common in China. Big private development "buys" people houses with government's support, paying penny on the dollar. Sometimes someone go all the way fighting it in courts, and sometimes they win. They are nicknamed "nail houses", and most often the developer does its worst to make living there impossible, such as in this case: they even go up to digging all around the house without leaving the required access, and simply pay some ridiculous fine until the owner breaks and sells.

We have sort of the same thing in the UK, up in Yorkshire, this farming family refused to move when the M3 was being built so they built round the farm - look it up, Stott Hall Farm. Well done to them for standing up to the idiots who built a pointless road alongside an existing motorway - I suspect there was a lot of dodgy political and other interests involved in this though ..
Winston Smith 2 years ago
Nice story , but with a couple of tiny drawbacks (to paraphrase Kryton) . The M3 runs from Surrey to Hampshire (way down South ) . The Stott Hall Farm (Calderdale , up North) myth that the Wild family refused to sell up and move sounds reasonable , but the reason the M62 splits around the farm is due to a geological fault . This fault meant it would have been a huge job to construct anything on their land, it was more practical for engineers to leave it rather than blast through and destroy it , so the motorway was just built around the farm instead , with an underpass built so the Farmer could access his land either side of the carriageways .

THAT is your main point of concern? I'd be worried about inhabitants crossing the street safely (or at all) to reach their home or to visit, the noise and air pollution, the fact that there's apparently some digging going on, potentially destabilizing the already wonky looking house... But the road's shoulder in the right corner of the pic looks free and big enough to park a car or two in (if people living there even own one).

A study by Roe (2016) backs this up by showing that having green spaces in cities is good for people with mental health issues like stress, anxiety, and depression. Adding more trees, small parks, and even outdoor exercise equipment, especially in the city center, can really help improve how people feel and act, and make their overall mental wellbeing better.

Load More Replies...The way we feel and act each day can be really affected by how we travel around the city. It can shape our mood and how we behave when we go to work and when we come back home. The things around us always have an impact on our thoughts. Making sure a city has good transportation and ways to connect is helpful. This can make traveling to work, especially on public transit, less stressful and make it easier to reach places and services. When transportation works well, it can lower stress and anxiety, which makes living in the city much smoother.

Its been built less than a decade ago, and it's currently unfinished. Chinese loves copying (badly) European architecture.

All the reviews available point to it already having maintenance issues and being poorly managed. Despite the exterior, it's just 4 floors high, the rest is for show only.

Torres De Colón, In Madrid, Was Built From Top To Bottom
Jrog 2 years ago
Because it's a center-core building but all the floor structures are hanging from the top platform. This choice came from the necessity of having a large unimpeded space in the basement, and huge open-spaces on the floors (initially for luxury apartments, later changed to offices): while a traditional building would have required many pillars, this method only required the central reinforced core to go to the foundations, leaving the floors empty. This kind of construction is quite rare but not unheard of, another famous example is the BMW-Turm in Munchen

Although I do not know how to reconcile the title with the content, after the so called "Culture Critic" debackle of a few days ago, I'd like to thank BP for putting together a realistic view of what architecture is like nowadays with a really wide range of examples.

I agree with Diola here. There was a post about brutalism in architecture recently, it was written awesomely! With explanations and interesting facts. As a non-architect, I don't get where is it bad in some photos. There are obviously tasteless buildings, but not all of them are.
