The design was created to symbolize yin and yang -- static and dynamic. A visual metaphor for dance. Whilst many love Frank Gehry's design (it won Time Magazine's design contest in 1997 and was also named one of the 5 most important buildings of the 1990s by Architekt Magazine), others think that it deserves a place in the list of ugly buildings.

The artificial mountain was completed in 2003. Its design was based on Feng Shui, a Chinese philosophical system of harmonizing people with their surrounding environment. The design aimed to “moderate the ferocious location of the building”.Upon seeing photos of the artificial landscape, some netizens argued that Feng Shui is pseudoscience, and that all the rooms will get is poor lighting.

Crooked House
The authors of the Crooked House ( Krzywy Domek ), such an unusual architectural solution, were the Polish architects Shotinsky and Zalewski . They were also inspired by the drawings of the Polish illustrators Schanzer and Dahlberg. The building in the style of "optical illusion" was built in 2004. http://penelope.uchicago.edu/~grout/encyclopaedia_romana/architecture/entablature.html
