A Frank Ghery design, the Stata center building in MIT, Cambridge is similar. I don't have a picture in my phone now. My son was working in MIT

Seems a bit like a folly, doesn't it?

You sure know how to pick them, inphoto! It looks quite spectacular. But, I don't know, when it comes to buildings, I prefer functionality (and safety!) over this. You can still do nice things with a normally structured building. IMO of course. Great shots though!

Thank you, John! The MIT building I've been in is an impressive functional building that houses the computer science department. I believe buildings with strange designs are made for showing off wealth and power and in a way they are needed
