This interesting and rather unusual residential complex was built in China.
The building consists of a set of blocks which are shifted by 2 meters horizontally. It was designed to gain additional space that was used for the construction of terraces.
As for me, it looks something like a LEGO building, only in real life.

Very weird, but funny and pretty well done.

A 22-storey residential building had to be destroyed to make way for new real estate projects but due to technical reasons, the demolition failed. It happened on December 30 in Liuzhou, China.
The blast broke the building into two parts but only one collapsed while the other one remained standing… but leaning to one side!
More pics as well as one video await you inside the post.

This man is called Atsushi Nakanishi and he is 40 years old. It’s been six months since he’s been living in a Capsule Hotel where he sleeps in a tiny room rented and paid by his ex employer for $640 since the global economic crisis hit Japan. Atsushi Nakanishi has only five of his belongings to store in his locker.
There are only vending machines in the hotel’s cafeteria and it is full of smell of cigarettes.
