The most peculiar architectural styles in the world

We may wonder what kind of work people do in this sharp house? Is the triangular home perhaps the headquarters of the Science Science? Could the bathrooms have triangles? Too many difficult questions!

The architectural styles have the "weird" design in the world that few people know

1. Dancing house

This is a house that you can't help but watch when passing by. The dancing house (Dancing House) is considered one of the most controversial buildings in Prague.The Dancing House was designed by a talented architect from California (USA).

11. Skyscraper capital gate

In construction, a building that is tilted after completion is considered a failed building. But this is a great idea with Capital Gate skyscraper in Abu Dhabi - the United Arab Emirates city. This building has a tilt of up to . 18 degrees - 4.5 times more than the famous Pisa leaning tower in Italy. To accomplish this feat, engineers dug the foundation of the building up to 30 meters deep, reinforcing the foundation with a tightened steel system. Then, a pre-cambered core system. This system is also composed of reinforced steel and concrete, has an arc shape and is used to "shape" the building. Because the building's backbone itself was curved, dragging the entire building along.

12. Laerdal Tunnel tunnel

The tunnel is also known for its "the longest road tunnel in the world ". Instead of running around to get from Mount Hornsnipa to Jeronnosi Mountain, road vehicles only need to stab through 24 km of the tunnel. The uniqueness of Laerdal Tunnel does not stop there. This tunnel also helps motorists avoid a kind of psychological effect when driving in the tunnel: " Hypnotic effect in the tunnel " (highway hypnosis). For this reason, the design team scattered green light bulbs , and smooth bends, making motorists feel comfortable and excited to avoid "hypnotic effects at in the tunnel ". The view of the tunnel is also divided into 4 sections to create more excitement when driving in the 24 km journey along the tunnel.

13. Factory "throughout" Die Gläserne Manufaktur

The phrase "transparent" refers to a factory producing Phaeton cars. This factory is located in the center of Dresden in Germany. Despite the comments of urban planners, the owners decided to set up their factory in the heart of the city center and cover the entire factory with 26 942 square meters of glass walls. The unique point of this factory is that there are no chimneys, harmful emissions or noise. Look at the lobby, the workshop is more like an opera theater than a factory. This is probably one of the few plants that have both aesthetic value and environmental safety.

14. Garage garage of Kansas City public library

Unlike parking in garages in other buildings, when going to the Kansas City public library, the reader can leave the car in front of the library gate . The front of the library is decorated with motifs that are . giant books lined up next to each other. Thanks to this feature, when walking in the car, the reader feels like being in a library with a huge bookshelf in front. This arrangement also makes the Kanas City public library stand out from a great distance.

15. Zenith telescope system telescope

Building an optical telescope system to observe stars is a work that requires more sophistication than any other. One of the difficulties is how to carry a giant lens system weighing tens of tons to the top of the mountain, without damaging it. After being assembled, astronomers also have to customize the deviation of the glass according to gravity, humidity and other environmental parameters. This is the disadvantage of mirror lenses in a telescope system.

To overcome this problem of correction, people use liquid lenses to make lenses. For example, the University of British Columbia's celestial telescope, using liquid mercury poured into the lens eye. Thanks to this feature, the lens keeps the parabolic shape when the telescope turns at a steady speed. The cost of liquid lenses is only 1/5 of the cost for conventional mirror lenses. This system of celestial telescopes at the University of British Columbia is currently the champion in the scientific world with the ability to open aperture up to 6 meters.

16. Palm Jumeirah Palm Island

Over the past decade, Dubai has faced a growing development. Apartments, skyscrapers must even be built close to each other, making space for developing other services very limited. To solve this problem, the city government decided to expand the coastline by adding three artificial islands, known as "Palm Islands " - palm trees.

To build Palm Jumeirah - the first island in the palm tree archipelago, workers had to dredge enough . 84 951 cubic meters of sandy soil. However, the engineers designed the concentric islands together to look from the top to the shape of a " palm" , in which the island part of the "trunk" is 2 km long. 16 island branches spread out on both sides of the trunk. During construction, architects use GPS to ensure that this Palm Jumeirah palm island has absolute symmetry. The island once held the record for "the world's largest artificial island " in 2013.

17. Melbourne Rectangular Stadium (AAMI Park)

When looking from above to AAMI park , surely everyone will be impressed by the geodesic dome architecture (hemisphere made from metal meshes). According to this architecture, the dome of AAMI Park looks down from above like diamond balls.

In order to build a geodesic dome-style dome, engineers had to put polygon panels together to create a sphere. The advantage of this design is greater certainty than conventional architectures due to locking pieces into each other, while cost of materials is more economical. In particular, AAMI Park only uses 50% steel compared to the conventional architecture of other stadiums (cantilever structure). Melbourne Rectangular Stadium has used a large amount of recycled materials during construction. AAMI park dome has a very good drainage capacity. At the same time, the energy used to operate the automatic power system is minimized at the best level.

When it started operations in 2010, AAMI Park received a series of awards for creative design, impressive architecture and environmental friendliness.

18. Ericsson sphere

Referring to the wonders for entertainment, it is impossible to ignore the sports center called "Ericsson Globe - Erricsson sphere" . In addition to the title of " the world's largest spherical building" , the Ericsson Globe sports center also holds another type of record: 110 meters in diameter, 85 meters in height, 600,000 cubic meters in volume. It is very surprising that this wonder only takes 2.5 years to complete from the start date.

Besides entertainment purposes, this building has a lot of meaning about education. Even the department of space research at Stockholm University wants to use the Ericsson Globe sports center and some other works to simulate the system of planets in the solar system, in which the " Ericsson sphere " will symbolize show the sun.

19. CCTV headquarters

The CCTV headquarters building was designed by OMA architectural firm based in the Netherlands. The two architects responsible for the project are Ole Scheeren and Rem Koolhaas. Built with a capital of up to 5 billion yuan, this is a 54-story skyscraper with a total height of 234 m. The airborne portion of the house extends 75m to the west, and 67 meters to the east.

The outstanding feature of the CCTV headquarters building is the unusual shape of the building, which consists of two separate parts (a part for broadcasting, a part for services and other CCTV activities). connected by a large roof forming a polygonal polygon pointed out. According to CCTV, the idea of ​​OMA is chosen because it represents the image of a new Beijing city, while also demonstrating breakthrough architectural and cultural ideas, contributing to image creation. for CCTV as well as promoting the development of Chinese architecture.

20. Bridge roll

This is the smallest scale project but it is also classified as "wonder" because it is too "toxic" . The bridge only has 11.8 meters, including 8 spans with interlocked steel bars. When you want to re-roll the bridge, under the action of a hydraulic piston, each bridge span will be raised and folded into each other. Thanks to this feature, both people and boats can go through this intersection very easily.

The bridge has received the " structural steel design" award in 2005, and is considered as a lively contribution to the development of the local city.
