10. Painted Favela
This colorful conglomeration of buildings can be found in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, which were painted varying hues along the ROYGBIV spectrum. This Santa Marta slum was given its paint job so as to breathe some new life into the structure and with the help of a paint firm and two artists from the Netherlands, the exterior was transformed into this much more pleasing design.
9. Pixel
The Pixel building in Melbourne, Australia looks a bit like confetti and that’s on purpose. And for those of you who care about the environment (and that should be everybody) the Pixel Building is the first Carbon Neutral building in Australia--perhaps even the first in the world, as far as most people know and all thanks to the studio505 architect company. The area once was home to the CUB Brewery. It’s named Pixel for its likeness to the grid and chipped nature of pixelated computer images. It was also the ast of the buildings on the site to be developed, yet it was the first of which to be built. At only 4 stories high, this office also has a fresh air cooling system that’s powered by gas fired ammonia, which is supposed to be much better than the usual way air conditioners run.
8. Colorful Kindergarten
This playground is part of a kindergarten school in Paris, France. You don’t even have to be 5 years old to want to spend your recess out here, running along a rainbow.
7. Katwise’s Rainbow House
This rainbow house by Katwise is also known as “Calico” or more interestingly as “the house that sweaters built.” Kat O’Sullivan was the creative driving force behind this strange yet oddly pleasing house located on an old farm close to Woodstock, New York. With her team, Sullivan transformed an old, white wooden paneled house into this psychedelic dream. And it comes as no surprise that the inside is as crazy as the outside.
6. Ministry of Communications
Find a ministry of communications facility in any other country that looks as cool as this one does in Singapore. We’ll wait. It’s funny since without it’s multi colored window frames, this building would just look like any other administrative building in any other part of the world. But it goes to show that being an adult working an important job doesn’t have to be boring.
5. Dexia Towers
Located in Brussels, this skyscraper in Rogier Square looks your average skyscraper in the morning. It’s all glass windows that shine blue as it reflects the sky. But come night time, this building looks like it goes through a transformation, kind of like people when they’re getting ready to go out and party after work. It measures at 145 meters tall, consisting of 38 floors. It has an area of 4,400 square meters and can be see from most of the major traffic sites in the city. The Dexia tower is lit with rainbow LED lights, whose patterns vary during its light show.
4. Rochor Center (row sher)
Singapore is an interesting place in that it’s a really small country, yet in its small scope there’s a handful of architectural marvels, like these colorful apartment buildings in Rochor Center.
3. Museum of Pop Culture
This looks like something out of a majestic and trippy dream--and of course it would be located in Seattle. Fun fact, The Museum of Pop Culture is a non profit museum and focuses on showcasing, you guessed it, contemporary pop culture. It was established in the year 2000 by the co founder of microsoft, the one you always forget about, Paul Allen. The building spans about 140,000 sq feet or 13,000 meters squared, and was designed by the famous Frank Gehry. Its reach of topics covers that of pop culture art, horror movies, fantasy genres, science fiction literature, and even video games.
2. Randyland
The so named Randyland is located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. When you come across it on the street, you of course know you’ve arrived in Randyland. Established by artist Randy Gilson, the strange fever dream building is open for visitors during the warmer months of the year--it is Pennsylvania, after all. He turned his home into a colorful fever dream that many cited as bringing joy to the community. Randyland covers a 30 block radius, with hundreds of landscape paintings referred to as “streetscapes.” And again, if we’ve learned anything from these crazy colorful buildings is that a lot of the times, the inside is just as crazy.
