Right, a brief detour from the Materials Mini-Series, today's one is going to be all about weird, strange looking buildings. I thought of this because of my exciting and 'unusual' new hair-do.

So, it's all about buildings and architecture that make you stop, do a double-take and think 'Blimey O'Reilly Sellassie I; that's a bit odd!'

And if you enjoy this thread, as many of you have said, then please pop something into the pot for the Bullheart charity. Thanks.

Right, I'll start off with a bit of Gaudi, why not, eh?
