The Largest Mud Brick Building in the World

Thursday, April 14, 2011 0 comments
The Great Mosque of Djenné, Mali a World Heritage Site is the World's Largest Mud-brick Building. It was built around 1908, though a mosque existed at this site from early 13th century. Like the earlier mosque this mosque is also made entirely of mud-brick, mud mortar and mud based plaster. The covered hall is about 50 x 24 metres.

Although not very well known, but after the Sphinx and Pyramids, it is one of the most famous land marks in Africa. Its popularity can be gauged by the fact that two buildings across the world are its replica. More image over here.

Magnificent Miami Castle Surrounded by Water

This magnificent prоperty is hоme to famous architect Charles Sieger аnd could quite possibly bе his very own Florida fiefdom. This seemingly drеam like estate sits in the middle оf аn egg shaped moat filled with deep turquoise colored water.

Upon entering the property, elegant black gates welcome the guests and take them to a beautiful pathway towards the residence, flanked by trimmed hedges and trees. Crossing the bridge, the view opens to the magnificent castle. A river runs right at the edge of the property, making the aerial view even more spectacular.

Hobbiton - The Hobbit Village from Lord of the Rings

After filming the 3rd installment of Lord of the Rings, the New Zealand government planned to make Hobbiton into a tourist attraction. Instead, the shire was discovered by sheep who inhabit the place today. Kinda sad because it looks like it could be a very cool place to visit.

Perfect House

Monday, March 14, 2011 0 comments
This house is called "The Subterranean Mansion" and it's located in England. It's on sale for £2,000,000.The house is not that big. There are several bedrooms, WC's, etc. But there is something that makes it one of the most daring & innovative houses ever built. Do you see this round hole in the bedroom wall? Any ideas what it is for? Just take a look at the second photo.
