BuilderScrap Rates its Top Building Designs

June 3rd, 2010

This week I’ve scoured the internet to find the most unusual building designs from around the Globe, it turns out I needn’t have bothered. All I have to do is look to our cousins from over the Atlantic; I have looked through a host of different building design and compiled my top 3.

Third place is located in Orlando, Florida; is this very appetising McDonald’s restaurant. This does the marketing for itself, anytime someone sees this they’re going to fancy a few French fries and maybe even a shake to go with that!

In second place we have Wonderworks another from Orlando, Florida. This design really turns things onto its head. The three story,  82 foot tall building has been flipped on its triangular top and squashed into the pavement. Inside things get even crazier with a hurricane ride which has winds of up to 65 mph, a 5.2 magnitude earthquake experience and a Titanic exhibit.

The winner caught my eye from the moment I saw it as it is very close to my heart. We all drink a little bit too much, as a collective nation we drink far more than recommended. John Milkovisch from Southern Pacific Railroad has the perfect way to reuse all the beer cans he drinks, he crushed the cans and used them to decorate his entire house it took him 18 years to complete. It may not be the most cleverly designed or particularly abstract in relation to shape. I just love wondering what was going through his mind when he first came up with this plan and obviously BuilderScrap loves any reuse or recycling building projects and this is certainly that. Sadly he passed away in 1988, thankfully a non-profit company has purchased his home and it is now classed as visionary art.

If you have any strange and wonderful architectural designs that you know of why not send them in.
