Interesting Buildings

Time for another interesting building.

This one is part of the Kansas City Library and it's rather unique, I think:

Now, how many of those books have you read???

Glad to see that "Lord Of The Rings" made it there.

Very interesting library ! That's so great to see so huge books ! And with the LOTR so that's even better ! (And Romeo and Juliet ^^).

Haha, that's a pretty neat way to decorate a library. It reminds me of the Warner Bros. building that is decked out with a bunch of cartoon characters. Some gaming company should do something like that with their popular characters. A Nintendo design would be pretty cool, I bet.

As for how many of these I've read... not many at all! Lord of the Rings, of course. The article mentions Fahrenheit 451, which I'm fairly sure I had to read back in school. Probably Charlotte's Web and Romeo and Juliet for the same reason. Of the others that I can see, I haven't read any.

Well, these aren't your typical buildings, they are homes that are built to be on the water...take a look, they are kinda neat:

Which one of these homes is your favorite, and would you live in one of these on-the-water homes?

They do look cool and very stylish but I wonder what happens if a storm arises on the water such as a hurricane, cyclone, tsunami, or other such storm event?? Would they be safe???

The first water dome reminds me of R2D2's head !

lol, that's a good catch myau56!! I had to go back and look at it again myself and I absolutely agree with you. It does remind me of R2D2!
That's cool!!

I wanted the last one, until I saw it was an apartment building. That's the kind of stuff I'd expect to see in fiction, not in real life. Out of all of them, I think I'd like to live in the second one the most. It needs some railings to prevent falling off accidentally. The dome one is kind of cool, too. That egg one is just weird, though.
