Real or Not? Identify these buildings...

Post by Rudi »

Do these architecture pieces really exist? Can you identify them?

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

Perhaps #1 is in Mississauga, near Chris Greaves? Google StreetView

Yep...Correct for #1! I thought of Chris when I saw the location of this building.
I think Chris borrowed the builders plumbline and forgot to give it back during construction!
The Absolute Towers in Mississauga, Canada.

Correct for #2 also. I thought this might be the difficult one to solve.
Yokohama Landmark Tower

Interesting suggestion on #3. Quite similar with the curves, but not the same. (Hint: This building is on a large island!)
