Want to pass? Weight loss required

FAIL ARCHITECTURE - bad column!

Want me to go with you? Sorry, I have to begin a new diet... I'll be back here in about two weeks ok?

The building that payed the toll...

That's right, it looks like those buildings payed the tool and have the right to use that giant 8-lane highway! But the truth is quite simple. The architect somehow "forgot" that there was a planned highway in the exact same place of  the residential blocks he designed... Where's the location of this mega FAIL?! China of course... 

Many thanks to Architect Andreia Silva for this brilliant suggestion.

The Oikema, a house of pleasure...

And now we give you a historical insight about the French Utopian architect Claude Nicolas-Ledaux. Once upon a time he drawn a master-plan for the ideal city of Chaux. Among several interesting building designs, this is by far our favorite! A "house for pleasure" or, like the author said, a "house for sexual instruction"... Whatever...

Oh Paris, such a lovely... wait, what?!

Ups, he did it again! Another strange-shaped church in construction not very far from that caravel of our last post, made by the same architect! Is this divine inspiration? God works in mysterious ways that's for sure... 

Thanks to Marco Oliveira for the suggestion.
