Oh, puh-lease.

Museum of Military History by Daniel Libeskind, in Dresden, Germany.

The light and sensitive texture of the building has a beautiful contrast to the sharp and metal covered extension. This brutally cuts through the neoclassicist pastel building, seemingly ignoring the past (just like actual wars). Libeskind did know what he was doing, the extension does match the function of the museum too.

Iconic and well known yet super unique.

bitchville: When the owner of this structure asked for a music building, the architect took him quite literally. Located in Huainan City, An Hui Province, China, the Piano House was built by the local government to draw interest to the newly developed area. It’s also a place where music students from the local college can practice and perform. A gorgeous transparent violin is attached to the piano building, which features a staircase that connects the two giant instruments.
