This week’s crazy building is the Jagged Apartments in Paris, France.
This bizarre set of apartment buildings was constructed by famous French architect Jean Renaudie, known for his unusual form of brutalist architecture. A true concrete jungle, it has greenery covering much of its tiered patios and even stretches across the street as if trying to grow out into the city.
With strange, angular points jutting out in all directions, it’s got quite a unique look—although that didn’t stop several surrounding apartment blocks from attempting to copy its distinctive style!
