Enough chatter - let’s jump into our top picks of buildings that make you go "Wait, what?!"

    NutrimaticTea Report

    Back in the '70s and '80s, France built nearly 200 swimming pools that look like UFOs. Bonus: they open up a bit for some extra space. Weird but super cool.

    olympic_peaks Report

    This giant dog statue is so big you used to be able to enter through its butt (yep!) and climb up to look out like Lady Liberty. Sadly, the door’s sealed now, but it’s still a crazy landmark.

    OttomanEmpireBall Report

    Designed by Frank Gehry, this building is daring and definitely not boring. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it sure makes an impression. The Broad Museum and Petersen Automotive Museum come close seconds.
