Here's a building design that's a bit different from the norm: Singapore's digital cloud skyscraper, entitled "My Dream, Our Vision." It uses permutated cubes to create a pixilated look, making it looks like something fresh out of the internet.
It's clearly just a design for now, but it was a finalist in a competition to design a pavilion for the World Expo 2010. Will it ever become a reality? Who knows, but I sure would love to see something this fantastical and different pop up in a city. Normal skyscrapers are so passé, after all.

I don't think it's a stretch to say that this planned Huaxi city center for Guiyang, China is just bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S! It's an architectural fever dream created by 11 different firms, invited and overseen by Beijing-based MAD architects. It's supposed to mimic nature rather than cater to the traditional design of a city: "The city is no longer determined by the leftover logic of the industrial revolution (speed, profit, efficiency) but instead follows the 'fragile rules' of nature," MAD said in a release.
You may remember MAD for their work on that crazy floating star-shaped city we showed you. While neither this nor that will probably ever be built, MAD is still known for pushing the limits — even when designing real buildings, like Sinosteel Plaza.
