Buildings many people didn't even know they were existing

[Thin White Duke 4,072]

Juvelen, Uppsala.

 

 

To be quite fair, this building doesn't actually exist just yet. The foundation is being prepared at the moment and it's expected to be finished in 2017, but this is barely getting any recognition even in the city it's being built! I think it deserves more.

Stadiums! D:

New Vikings Stadium, Minneapolis, MN, USA - Still under construction but it's already looking like an icon for the Twin Cities

Grand Stade, Bordeaux, France - I just love the architecture of this stadium, the flimsy structural poles make quite an allusion to a forest, which I like

We all like cool and modern stadiums, but sometimes the real football ambient feel can be felt in places like...

 

 

 

Stadion an der alte Försterei, home field of 1. FC Union Berlin; the city's "second" team. Quite an old stadium, with an "English" design, where everybody watches the game standing. Quite unknown by the normal football fans of the world.

Phoenix International Media Centre, Beijing, BJ, China

 

[Enekist 39]

The Gasometer (old gas tanks) in Vienna, Austria. I really like this one, because they even built buildings inside the buildings ... ^^

 

 

 

there is a whole site about this building and its architecture (English and German only): http://www.wiener-gasometer.at/en

Not entirely shure if we had this already. In case we did, I'm sorry.

Everybody knows about Casa Milà (La Pedrera) from Barcelona. How many likes for the much lesser known Casa Lleó Morera?

The Transfiguration church, on the lake Onega, Russia, is really something to see. One of the worlds' tallest log structures, 37 meters high. I had no idea  it existed till this last Summer, and I bet KonstantinII will like this post!

 

 

[KonstantinII 1,106]

Say no more. I wanted to post that church too, but you beat me to it. Here's a picture I drew it one year ago for art class. I've been wanting to BAT it for quite a while now, but I found it to be too tedious.

Next time, I'll post something about old Russian wooden architecture.

 

that thing was for sale not too long ago, the Doolittle House in Joshua Tree, CA, designed by SD-based architect Kellogg. 4.6k sqft sitting on a 10 acre lot and initial asking was $3mio.

good luck trying to lokate it on google earth, both shape and color blend in perfectly...
