When it comes to designing a building, symmetry is often an important aspect of the construction, but these strangely slanted structures however, have been built with one side intentionally off balance, creating a visually odd yet mesmerizing appearance.
With so many structures being built in cities and neighborhoods, the need for architects to create a design that will stand out from all the other structures is becoming ever more demanding. That's why these slanted structures are some fantastic examples of how builders are going outside-the-box to create buildings that are imaginative and visually compelling.
From tilted buildings that humorously seem to be falling over to colorful apartments that continuously slant downwards, these creatively designed structures will definitely make an impression with their curious and playful shapes.
