The ING House By Migdejong licensed under the terms of Public Domain
This week’s crazy building is the Football Shoe in Amstelveen, Netherlands.
The official name of this building is the ING House, after the banking firm it used to house. But locals have taken to calling it the Football (i.e. soccer) Shoe due to its unusual shape.
The entire structure is indeed shaped like a shoe! It’s supported largely by giant V-shaped beams, with a massive cantilever at the “toe” of the building.
The other local nickname for the building is “The Dustbuster”… but it looks just as crazy no matter what you call it!
