Architecture is a very special kind of art, and sometimes it veers into the oddest places of our imaginations. Buildings both inspired by the past and looking ahead to the future are common sights, but America is full of goofy buildings in weird places, from a building shaped like a picnic basket in Ohio to man-made dinosaurs standing guard in California. This book takes an exciting look at some of the strangest places in the United States with colorful photographs and engaging stories about the how and why of these oftentimes massive construction projects.
