Tatlin’s Tower
This building was officially named Pamiatnik III International (Monument to the Third International, which was designed by the great Vladimir Tatlin that happened because of a result of the ‘monumental propaganda’. It essentially was a campaign to remove all the tsarist type of monuments post-revolution and instead replace them with not something that was only different, but also something that was completely unseen and new.

It is safe to say that Tatlin didn’t disappoint in having built an abstract that stood tall at about 400m which could have been 100m taller than the Eiffel tower too.

Kowloon Walled City
Did you happen to be a Jean Claude Van Damme fan? If yes, then you have probably already see what we call the Kowloon Walled City. It took up an entire block in Hong Kong and was said to be one of the densest places on Earth with about at least 1.2 Million people living per sq. kilometre which as compared to Manhattan is a gigantic number as the latter stood at a mere 27,800 people per sq. kilometre.

The Fun Palace
In essence, The Fun Palace was not an actual palace, but it was also hard to believe it to be a building even. It was conceived by Cedric Price who is infamously known for always having a lit cigar in his mouth. It was designed back in 1961 and was planned on being built on Thames’ river bank in East London.
It was designed to be an ‘anti-building’ which would have elements that would in a way create an environment that was ever changing.  A good place to draw contemporary interior designs floor mapped ideas would be from this structure.

The Church of Reconciliation
In itself, the design of the building was not as interesting but was a marvel. Representing a Gothic church which was built in Berlin in the year 1894, the mastermind behind it was Gotthilf Ludwig Mockel. The interesting fact about the church was the shape it took post-war.

Bucky’s New York Dome
Want to make people think that you’re a learned architect who knows his whereabouts in the real estate and architectural world well enough? One neat trick up your sleeve should be calling Buckminster Fuller, Bucky; as if to portray that he has been your friend forever. A lot of interior design ideas from this dome were rather sustainable.

The dome that was to be designed by him was so massive and gargantuan, that it would have actually covered the cost of having snow ploughed in New York City for the next ten years. His vibe and structural thoughts for buildings were very futuristic. In it, you could regulate the weather and all other environmental factors synonymously.

These are some of the architectural pieces that went down in history and will always be talked about, even after aeons pass by us.
