Architects of all times have tried to give an unusual look to buildings and structures. Today in the world there are a number of old and new architectural monuments that every tourist dreams of visiting. With the advent of new technologies in construction, the architecture of our time began to look like that shown in science fiction films.
Burj Khalifa in Dubai
The city of Dubai can be called the richest in unusual buildings of our time. Most recently, this place was a desert, but after oil was found in this part of the world, the city became one of the richest in the world. Its architecture is amazing and is considered almost a wonder of the world.
The Burj Khalifa Tower is considered the tallest structure in the world, its height reaches more than 800 meters. At the 2014 New Year's Eve, a fireworks display was launched from the Burj Khalifa to the extent that it was recognized as the largest fireworks display in the world. People live in this building, there are hotels and shops. The skyscraper, which is located in a hot desert, has a unique air conditioning system that allows you to stay in comfortable conditions not only inside the tower, but also next to it. Many tourists from all over the world go to Dubai just to see this unusual masterpiece of architecture. The largest fountain in the world is located near the Burj Khalifa.
Artificial islands in Dubai
It was impossible to believe in it at the beginning of construction, but the Arabs built the wonders of architecture on the water. With the help of special water machines, islands of the most unusual shapes were made from the earth of the seabed. These are not just giant islands, they have their own infrastructure for human life. Three islands were made in the form of palm trees and one island in the form of a map of the Earth. These islands have cafes, restaurants, tennis courts, shops. Real estate on the islands costs about a million dollars. There is no analogue of such islands anywhere in the world.
Marilyn Monroe Towers in Canada
Another place where an extraordinary architectural structure of our time was created is Canada. In 2012, the city of Mississauga completed the construction of two towers that rotate on their axis. They were voted America's best building this year. They are named after Marilyn Monroe. These are residential complexes, skyscrapers, which are installed on special slabs. The slabs are rotated, and residents have the opportunity to see from the windows a different landscape of the surroundings. In addition, buildings also change their shape, and this is at a height of more than 100 meters.
Skyscraper rooftop pool in Singapore
The pool, which is located on the roof of a high-rise in Singapore, is considered the tallest pool in the world, with about $ 6 billion spent on it. The pool is designed in the shape of a huge ship that towers over all of Singapore.
Modern architectural structures are built contrary to the logical idea of physics, which is why they amaze the imagination so much.
