These photos capture incredible moments of a 17-storey concrete building being blown to pieces in Scotland. Glencairn Tower block that opened in 1964 needed about 55kg of explosives to be reduced to 12,000 tons of rubble. Inside this post, you can watch spectacular video of the building crashing to the ground.
The largest mud building in the world is the great mosque in Djenne. It is made from animal dung and mud. The mud bricks form the organic shapes. Frequently, there will be pottery, calabash, or ostrich eggs on top of it to prevent its destruction from the rain.

I just love the design of the building!

Germans seem to have found a fantastic and realistic way that turns a dull apartment building into an interesting one. Aren’t these wall paintings genius?

This is an uninhabited Sun Microsystems building. Look how many consumer goods are hidden inside, and they don’t belong to anybody :)
