Who knew traffic could be so exciting?
2. Chapel of the Holy Cross, Sedona

It’s not a mirage — this spectacular Arizona chapel is totally real, just make sure you bring a bottle of water when you check it out.
3. Gaudí-Designed Balconies, Barcelona

Barcelonies? Balcolonas? There’s a pun here somewhere…
4. The Fuji TV Building, Odaiba

That sphere may look like a Bond villain’s headquarters, but it’s actually an observational deck that’ll take your breath away.

5. Kaohsiung National Stadium, Zuoying District

The impressiveness of the 55,000-seat Kaohsiung National Stadium is only amplified when coupled with the fact that the entire facility is powered by the solar panel roofs.
6. KPMG Building, Munich

http://imagezilla.net/thumbs2/FzLO4PB-longform-original-10556-1416943398-37_tn.png (http://imagezilla.net/show/FzLO4PB-longform-original-10556-1416943398-37.png)

The KPMG is home to the world’s most innovative staircases. Sure, they don’t really go anywhere, but does that really matter? Let us dream.

7. Selfridges Parametric Bridge, Birmingham City

http://imagezilla.net/thumbs2/Sc0vGwJ-enhanced-buzz-wide-19306-1416943733-25_tn.jpg (http://imagezilla.net/show/Sc0vGwJ-enhanced-buzz-wide-19306-1416943733-25.jpg)

This shopping center set out to distinguish itself from the other venues by decorating their curved facility with 15,000 aluminum discs. Mission accomplished.

8. Fangyuan Mansion, Shenyang

http://imagezilla.net/thumbs2/D4mDTlh-longform-original-26808-1416870164-19_tn.jpg (http://imagezilla.net/show/D4mDTlh-longform-original-26808-1416870164-19.jpg)

This impressive building was designed to look like a stack of ancient Chinese coins. Don’t ask why… you ask too many questions.

9. Kansas City Public Library, Quality Hill

http://imagezilla.net/thumbs2/g5fqQ5H-enhanced-buzz-wide-667-1416933872-7_tn.jpg (http://imagezilla.net/show/g5fqQ5H-enhanced-buzz-wide-667-1416933872-7.jpg)

Books on books on books.

10. Mysore Palace, Karnataka

http://imagezilla.net/thumbs2/nnJ2RVH-longform-original-22146-1416940076-3_tn.jpg (http://imagezilla.net/show/nnJ2RVH-longform-original-22146-1416940076-3.jpg)

Bonus points to the person who said “what good is a decadent palace if it doesn’t light up? NOW BUILD IT AGAIN.”

11. Habitat 67, Montreal

http://imagezilla.net/thumbs2/pjD4XxE-enhanced-buzz-wide-19048-1416944199-15_tn.jpg (http://imagezilla.net/show/pjD4XxE-enhanced-buzz-wide-19048-1416944199-15.jpg)

This community of 146 residencies actually started as a thesis project at McGill University. It undoubtedly threw off the curve.
