The world has progressed greatly since the time when Pyramids of Egypt were built. These wonders of man were made purely by hand and labor. No sophisticated machinery was used except for estimates and calculations.
Weird Sky Scrapers – Bizarre Architectural Designs
Today, civilization has progressed. The consequences of technological advancements have resulted into the erection of some of the most amazing structures in the world. Have a look at the most bizarre and weird sky scrapers of all times.
1. The Legend of Bangkok – United Overseas Bank
The structure of this phenomenal sky scraper is such that it can amaze just anybody. Built back in 1986, this sky scraper has a very bizarre and unusual design. It looks like a transformable “Robot” due to its sleek design.
2. The Chang Building – Bangkok`s Prestige
This building is the Bangkok`s Chang Building. It is one of the most integral component of Bangkok`s skyline and features the most favorite animal of this state. The design is much more like an Elephant which is considered sacred and holy in Malaysian Culture.
3. The Koala Building – Dirt in the Eye
The Koala Towers are located in Hong Kong. They are officially known as the “Hong Kong`s Lippo Center”. The shape of each tower is such that it appears to be a bear hugging itself. The 186 meter high wonders of man may not truly be the perfect sight in the Hong Kong`s skyline.
4. Belgrade – Genex Towers
The Genex Towers are located in Belgrade, Serbia. Each of the gigantic towers goes as far as 115 meters in the air. They act as a welcoming gate for outsiders into the city. The two towers are connected by a concrete bridge. Though they are oddly built, they sure are wonderful.
5. Fuji Tower – Tokyo
The Fuji Towers are equipped with all instruments to make them look like complete industrial waste land. This futuristic attempt to shape a building has been completely spoilt.
