When architects are able to unleash their creativity, they can create real works of art. However, some of them are able to completely rethink classical forms, creating phantasmagorical buildings.

What are the buildings that exist beyond the understanding of human imagination? NewsBytes offers to get acquainted with 5 such buildings.

This 7-storey building, which is built in the shape of a basket, used to be the headquarters of Longaberger, a company that makes handmade baskets.
