This week’s crazy building is Johannesburg Water Tower in Johannesburg, South Africa.
While South Africa has yet to meet its goal of providing universal access to clean water (enshrined in their Constitution as a human right), great strides have been made in the past decade.
Located near the city’s Grand Central Airport, this cone-shaped structure has provided water to the Midrand neighborhood for many years.
The concrete monolith, reminiscent of a tornado making its way across the landscape, is one of the most notable landmarks of the region.
