Just went down a rabbit hole of looking at Cambodian ruins, and wanna see some other amazing looking stuff.
Half-Life
Spaceship Engine
The entity
Cyberpunk 2077-ass place
Shin Takamatsu designs some cool buildings. They all look like they could be headquarters for Power Rangers.
Neo-Andean architecture in Bolivia is pretty neat and colorful:
i want to fuck those neo-andean buildings
those bolivian buildings are awesome
I never managed to wrap my head around these, yes low hanging fruit I know.
The 500’ radius meanders always get me. I know it’s supposed to break up sight lines and kinda slow drivers down, but it’s just uncanny.
Houston is filthy with these, but Cape Coral will always be the poster child to me. Just imagine this with water access too.
i take every chance i can get to post about the communist monuments in Yugoslavia, also known as the Spomeniks. There are dozens - perfect fodder for a rabbit hole - but here are a few:
Also, Habitat 67 in Montreal is an apartment complex that looks like datamosh
I wouldn’t say alien looking (what with the problematic history of such claims) but the Ellora Caves are cool. Carved out of rock, and looks even more elaborate than Petra.
This is most what I was looking for!

Cappadocia Turkey is like something out of a scifi movie.
This is awesome, thanks!
We call them fairy chimneys in Turkish. We also have them in Erzurum, Afyon and Van provinces as well.
Also there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derinkuyu_underground_city
2800 year old underground complex housing 20,000
I got to do go there too, it was truly awesome.
I went there as a child with my family. After some stupid argument, I ran away from them and got lost for half an hour. Then they found me and got my ass handed to me lol.
I’ve always had a soft spot for the Geisel library if that counts
The weirdest feeling I’ve ever gotten from a building in person was the national center for performing arts in Beijing. I don’t know how to describe how it made me feel. It’s a really pretty building but it feels odd and imposing too.
And I wanna mention Austin City Hall in Austin, Texas. I’ve always thought it’s a very cleverly designed building that’s both very weird yet very orthodox at the same time.
we will make a big banana we will call it the big bananaAliens trying to recreate human architecture: “see this building? humans call it the Gherkin. Gherkins are also a food item. Humans like food-shaped buildings”
i like food shaped buildings
Here’s one for you
I actually saw the big pineapple when i was a kid, on a road trip to Queensland
Luckiee
Look, I’m not gonna deny it, the aliens gave a point.
Nabemba Tower, Republic of congo
I call it the Treatlerite Baroque
The Thing by John Carpenter
Needs a bigger garage, with the entrance like 20ft forward.
The windows should all be different shapes and heights, and more of them
Honestly, this is one of the least offensive Mcmansions I’ve seen in a while. 3 rooflines is insane, but relative to the ones I’ve seen with 20+ it’s positively reserved.

I love 33 Thomas Street. When I’ve gone to Manhattan, sitting under it has been one of my favourite things because it’s so viscerally hostile that it feels like a horror movie. It’s the only skyscraper dedicated to evil things in that city which honestly embraces that, and the result is similar to looking up at a mountain that hates you.
Isn’t that the building where the control game takes place?
They also used it as the big bad building in Mr. Robot
It has been reported that the building is used as a National Security Agency (NSA) mass surveillance facility.
A monolith that steals our thoughts to justify killing anyone who displeases it. And when you stand under it, something about its acoustic profile is so unique and unsettling. It dampens the sound around it in a way that makes it uncanny valley territory. Everything is just a little bit off in a way that spikes my fight-or-flight response.
did you mean the bad kind?
Don’t know about alien, but I can give you cooky and weird.
The old longaberger hq in the us
The national fisheries development board building in India
And the Bolwoningen apartments in the Netherlands.
oh shit, it’s the long burger basket!!! (I have one in my house)
Long bourgeois basket
And the Bolwoningen apartments in the Netherlands.
I remember seeing a Tom Scott video about how these are really neat and at the same time a nightmare to live in because they’re so maintenance-intensive.
That is exactly how I know about them too
Fish building is where it’s at HECK YEAH
As for natural but alien:
Pics from Mars:
Cuevas cerca de Ávila, near MadridThis is rad!
It’s pretty cool!
At first it’s indigestion for the eyes because there’s too much to take in at once
it’s indigestion for the eyes
This is an amazing turn of phrase
