We Often Feature Unusual Buildings,

and here are three more,

 all from the same company, the architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron, based in Basel, Switzerland, the first building is the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg, Germany, 

at $900 million, the price tag may seem high, but the the international architecture community say it’s worthwhile, 

 positioned on top of a 19th-century warehouse, the new structure glitters in a series of buoyant waves, echoing the water of the adjacent Elbe River,

 the 26-floor, 700,000-square-foot complex features a sweeping 269-foot escalator, performance halls, a main auditorium and a rooftop terrace,

M.H. De Young Museum, San Francisco, California, 

reviving an 1895 museum that was destroyed by the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, the M.H. De Young Museum in San Francisco took the place of it's predecessor,

 56 Leonard Street Skyscraper, New York City,

construction of Herzog & de Meuron’s latest New York City skyscraper is complete,

 and the firm has released this stunning time lapse of the building process, this structure is envisioned as a stack of individual houses arranged in a Jenga-like formation, giving it a pixelated appearance, this arrangement also creates a series of terraces and projecting balconies on every level, what will the company think of next?
