The engineers of this Polish shopping centre decided to do away traditional straight lines in favour of rather more mind-boggling geometry.
Krzywy Domek - which translates as 'crooked house' - was inspired by the fairytale illustrations of Jan Marcin Szancer. The building has been likened to a child's drawing that has been squashed and a cartoon fun house. Others say it looks as if it is melting.
Ever since it was finished, the Crooked House has become Poland's most photographed building.Built in 2004 and measuring 4,000sqm, it now houses a drinking hole called the Wonky Pub.
