As time goes by, designers and architects are getting more and more creative and bold with experiments. Gurus of modern architecture can give us more than just beautiful, functional houses. Buildings nowadays can make faces, melt, dance, and play music — and the list of their “talents” seems to have no end.

We at Bright Side would definitely not pass by these stunning buildings without stopping to stare at them for at least for a couple of minutes, and we wonder if they fascinate you too. Be sure not to miss our bonus section where we’ll share the secret of the “sinking” house in Paris, France.
