Office for the Hungarian MKB Bank by Imre Bálint DLA, in Budapest, Hungary. Oversized details and beautiful curves. Kind of like the flatiron building of the 21st century. I had the luck to see this personally, the picture was taken by me too, and let me tell you, when you see it for the first time it’s like a spaceship docked in the middle of the city. Quite futuristic.

Sarpi border checkpoint by J. Mayer H. , in Sarpi, Georgia. Wow never thought I would be publishing about contemporary architecture in Georgia, and here it is, 2 posts in a day. This border checkpoint between Georgia and Turkey seems like it gives a lot more than what it was intended for (but probably that was the trick). Not only does the structure mark the new country, and advertises it to travelers, but also serves as a silent icon, kind of like a guard over the bay. The crazy shape is really cool, and the observatory, is the cherry on top. (as I later found out, it is no coincidence that I found many cool contemporary buildings in the Caucasus country, it turns out german architect J. Mayer H. is working on several landmarks and structures throughout the nation - architecture is a clever way to get recognition for a small country)

Run Run Shaw Creative Media Center by Daniel Libeskind, in Hong Kong, China. Form. Function. Look. Perfectly matched. Another one in the great buildings by Libeskind series. There is no reason for me posting many buildings by the architect right after each other, my posts are selected 2 months in advance, but he is good, you have to admit.
