This section explores fascinating and unusual buildings around the world. These include homes that float on water and ancient caves carved into rock. These structures show how humans use creativity, nature, and design to build homes, temples, and landmarks in very different ways.
Floating homes are houses that stay on water rather than on land. They are built on floating platforms, pontoons, or boats, and are often found in lakes, rivers, canals, or protected sea bays. Floating homes may look like regular houses but are anchored to remain stable and safe. They are popular in areas where land is limited or water life is a tradition.
Rock-cut buildings are structures that are carved directly into natural rock or mountains. Instead of being built with bricks or stone blocks, these are shaped out of cliffs, hillsides, or caves. Rock-cut temples, monasteries, and tombs are often historical and show detailed artwork, sculptures, and carvings made from solid rock. Many are religious or sacred places.
Many buildings around the world are designed in creative, artistic, or nature-inspired ways. These include ice hotels, buildings shaped like animals or objects, and even homes made underground or in trees. Such buildings reflect innovation and imagination in architecture.
