Portuguese engineer Guimarães built this vacation home in the Fãfe mountains region. The walls and ceiling are made from huge stones and some other materials he used include wood, glass, and metal.
Basket Building- United States
The Longaberger Company produces maple wood baskets and other products, so it was only natural for their building to be shaped like one of their baskets, right? There’s a glass ceiling on the top so there’s plenty of natural light.

，當天並沒有地震，櫥窗的書本卻散落一地。 因為全身烏黑，有人說烏鴉是不祥的徵兆，但這是不理解烏鴉特性只憑外貌而生的奇怪理論。 其實烏鴉是聰明又暖心的大黑鳥。 烏鴉的高智商應該很多人都聽說過，在日本甚至有隻烏鴉每天在車站觀察人們買票，某天終於忍不住想大試身手自己買票，按了按鍵後竟轉身搶走身邊婦人的卡片付錢，最終因為無法順利將卡片插入而以失敗告終。 而烏鴉還有一個大家可能不太瞭解的特性，就是非常有同理心，當有同類過世，路過的烏鴉們會停下來守在旁邊為其哀悼。 內心溫暖、外表烏黑亮麗，這就是無關選擇烏鴉來守護書店的原因啊！ #無關實驗書店 #wuguanbooks #烏鴉The post 3 Most Beautiful Bookstores in Asia appeared first on Traveler Master.
