Weird Buildings: A Celebration of Architecture at Its Most Playful

From fish-shaped offices to houses that look like giant teapots, the world is full of buildings that defy convention and delight the imagination. Weird Buildings is a new book from Hoxton Mini Press that collects some of the most eccentric and wonderful examples of architecture across the globe.

Featuring over 50 extraordinary structures, the book highlights designs that blur the line between sculpture and architecture. Some, like Zaha Hadid’s fluid mountaintop museum in Italy, represent the height of avant-garde design. Others, like a service station shaped like a teapot in Washington State or the famous duck-shaped shop on Long Island, lean into humor and charm.

What ties them together is a willingness to push boundaries. Whether whimsical, surreal or thought-provoking, each building reimagines what architecture can be. If you’re a fan of unconventional design or just want to take a trip through some of the most creative corners of the built world, Weird Buildings makes for a perfect addition to your bookshelf.

The book is set to be released on October 7 and you can get your copy on Amazon.
