A curved building, a gigantic animal shape in front of a building, crazy arts etc. are quite magnificent architectural examples I have witnessed many times in my life. But nothing can be as unusual or unique than the ‘Basket Building’ I have seen in Ohio, United States.
This building is the head-quarter of the Longaberger Company and this is a famous manufacturer and distributor of handcrafted maple wood baskets and other home and lifestyle products in the United States. This giant basket building is situated in Dresden, Ohio in the United States. One of my maternal uncle lives in Ohio and I went to visit his house two years back. While visiting different places with my cousins I noticed this building and the exceptional and strange design of this building simply stunned me.
This building is a giant basket like building. It might give you the impression that a picnic basket has been kept on the side of a park. The idea of establishing a building that represents the corporate brand and the main product the company manufactures was indeed a genius one. It is a 7-story large building which is the head-quarter of the Longaberger's Home Office. This is perhaps the largest basket monument human has ever created. I heard from my cousin that it is around 200 feet long and 136 feet wide. After I returned home and search for more information about this building and found some interesting facts like it took more than 2 years to be completed and it cost 30 million dollars. It occupies more than 25 acres area and the basket handles were settled on the top of this building using 150 tonnes weight copper and wooden rivets.
As I told that, my concept of strange building and monument was redefined after I saw this building. It was quite unique, some would say bizarre. I think this is the strangest building I have ever seen because of its architectural design and structure. Anyone who has never seen this building would be puzzled and would agree that this is a strangely designed and unusual looking building.
