Modern architecture has brought many amazing buildings to the world.
Quirky shapes, ambitious designs, new materials, and new different
styles have come with the modern architecture into construction today.
The purpose of the building is not always seen in its design. Futuristic
museums and opera houses have become a usual thing.

Kansas City Public Library in Missouri,United-States
As an incentive to visit library the design in the downtown of Kansas
city was made in shape of books that according to people of Kansas city
represent Kansas.
Update: I was told that it’s a parking garage not the actual library.
And still it looks awesome, isn’t? What can I say? A suitable building
for storing books.
