#2 The Basket Building
This is the corporate office of the Longaberger Basket Company based in Newark, Ohio. Ohio isn't a state that naturally screams abstract or even interesting but it's home of The Basket Building so at least it's got that going for it.
#3 Stone House
Stone House is exactly what it sounds like. The home made out of stone is one of the most impressive homes in Portugal, attracting tourists and media.

#5 The Atomium

#14 Kansas City Public Library
C'mon, this is pretty much the best library ever. When they designed the art, they had the people of Kansas City choose the titles that belonged there.

The Crooked House, located in Poland, was built over the course of about 11 months in 2003. The design is based on the artwork and photography of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg.
