One of the most striking features of the Kansas City Library in Missouri is the “community bookshelf” that runs along the south wall of the parking garage. The book spines measure 25 by 9 feet and reflect a variety of reading interests, all suggested by Kansas City readers. Some of the titles include: Romeo and Juliet, The Lord of the Rings, The Collected Poems of Langston Hughes, Tao Te Ching, and Fahrenheit 451.

Low Impact Woodland House (Wales, UK)

Top 12 World’s Strangest Buildings

This house was built by a man for his family and completely constructed by him, his father in law, passer-byers, and visiting friends. It was dug into a hillside for low visual impact and shelter, and straw bales were used in the floor, walls, and roof for instillation. The fridge is kept cool by air coming underground through foundations, and solar panels were installed for music, lighting, and computing.

Cubic Houses (Kubus Woningen) (Rotterdam, Netherlands)

Top 12 World’s Strangest Buildings

The Cubic Houses in Rotterdam were constructed by Piet Blom in the 1970s after he was asked to solve the dilemma of building houses on top of a pedestrian bridge. His concept behind it was to create a forest of houses, with each cube representing an abstract tree.

Wonderworks (Tennessee, USA)
