Why go through the simple and rational purchase of a pre-built home that has had real construction and inspections done when you can just make one yourself, like in Minecraft

When my parents built a new house, my Dad hired 3rd parties to "inspect the inspectors" and they found so much poo poo wrong with the build job.

Case Study House #22 in Los Angeles, aka the Stahl House is wildly impractical but is impressive as all heck much like Falling Water: Strangely, the bathroom was really, really tacky. Straight from the 70s and gross and cheap-looking. It's pretty lol compared to the rest of the place.

Trump tower in Vegas is a par for the course tacky gold casino high rise, with the added bonus of reflecting sunlight at different sections of the city and the highway from sun up to sun down.

Popular Thug Drink posted:i'd love to live in a plate glass house with no curtains up on a great big hill where everyone can see it in a town with the most intrusive photographers per capita in the world okay, so it's just the glass walls. that might be arguably an aesthetically undesirable rather than impractical house. maybe a celebrity doesn't want to live there, but there might be plenty of people for whom ultimate visibility strokes their ego in just the right way. it's great for porno shoots, i bet. you could be renting it out constantly and going on vacation. it also wasn't clear from the photo whether or not the entire house was glass-walled, so i was curious if that was what the person was calling impractical or if there was something else about its design.

Seem like a lot of wing-shape bits also for a house on the side of a mountain. Heavy wind will lift that sucker.

The Stage One Gallery of designs for a new Guggenheim art museum to be built in Helsinki is a treasure trove of insane architecture. Because these are concept designs, they're don't need to care about pesky distractions like laws of physics:  Some are pretty cool, like the volcanic island and the alien joyride machine:   But then there's stuff like the golden M&M  The Interior Butt  And my favourite: the Glass Turd  The gallery is HUGE if you want to take a look.

 It was originally supposed to be half as tall but the developer couldn't sell any units so naturally the police and fire pension fund was like "Rich people will love this, build it twice as tall!" They named it Museum Tower. The design of the tower focused light on a museum next door that has a glass roof founded by one of the most powerful and wealthiest families in the city and made it where they had to put a lot of their art in storage, destroyed another piece of art and killed a few trees so no rich people wanted to buy units in a building that ruined a museum and seriously loving pissed off one of the most influential families in the city. It's been open like 2 years and I think they have sold like 30 of over 100 units.
