My home town has some really awful 60s art deco stuff.

Dental School.

I'm really puzzled by you calling this art deco.

That's the style they are often labelled as, although it's really more of a bland, generic 1960s style.

Real art deco.



1960s blah, often mistakenly labelled as art deco.

Oh hey, there was a Futuro house in a seaside suburb in my city! I think they took it apart and moved it to another city (they were modular).
Apparently only 96 of these things were made, so they definitely aren't common.



Hmm. Could do with a clean.

Like piss?
The only thing I know is the owners moved it because they got sick of curious tourists and bypassers wandering onto their property to take photographs of the 'UFO house'.

Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, designed by... Salvador Dali. I kind of like this one.



Salvador Dali museum in Florida, not designed by Dali. Meh.

Ahaha please tell me those are noses on the side of the building. I also appreciate the giant eggs. Wonder if he was hungry when designing that. At least this one seems to have actual space you can use inside.

I'm not sure what those things are.



How about some loaves of bread to go with your eggs?

I don't understand what you are complaining about, these are awesome. Gonna petition my local council to replace all public toilets with frightening giant cardboard animals.

It's the New Zealand stereotyping thing, but I guess if you want to be able to say you pissed in a sheep...


Have some more giant animals you can probably piss in.

The Winchester House is only a failure in the sense that it was made by a crazy lady, but it's got no place in this thread. It's a work of art, an insane, confusing work of art.

Well, it was built to appease a bunch of ghosts, so it has to be insane.
