      Architects get weird with the strangest things sometimes. You might have the incredibly practical feats of engineering (Sydney Opera House), the corporate custom that was completely ridiculous and no one is even in it anymore (basket building in Ohio), engineering fuckups (walkie talkie tower making things melt), or the straight up WTF (Scottish Parliament building).
