I sometimes wonder if I had been better at Maths, I would have seriously thought about Archtiecture as a career.
We love buildings in our family.
My great grandfathers were master stonemasons and Our Martin is an architect but I never gave it serious thought until it was too late. *sigh*
But I think it's pretty safe to say that if I had, I wouldn't be building towers of glass and steel like those above. I also don't imagine I would have the intellectual rigour of Shaih Hadid to produce soaring edifices of glass and steel
And although whimsy and architecture don't seem like natural bedfellows, I like to think I would have tried to produce buildings that made people happy!
I fell in love with this first building last year on the way back to the airport. It sits like a giant lego building by the side of the autobahn and you can't help but smile the minute you see it

I adore this buikding below in Paris. The transformation of a former garage to media group headquarter in Paris is complete with glittering mirrored honycomb panels and looks like something that would have been made by disco bees ( if such creatures existed!)
Or how about some picnic basket madness?
Located in Newark, Ohio the Basket Building is the home office of The Longaberger Basket Company...
And of course I couldn't show you a picnic basket without adding my favourite teacup balconies in Japan...
Japan is also home to my current favourite.
Feat your eyes on this candyland inspired nightclub.
A building you could eat.
Yum yum yum...
