This is the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, designed by Frank Loyd Wright, and located in New York City.

It bears noooooo resemblance to the original post...

... the street lamp is obviously in the wrong location for that to be correct.

...Is it an apocolylyptic bus stop?

This week’s building was Tornhuset, the United Nations affiliated World Maritime University (WMU) in Malmo, Sweden. According to the architects, Terroir and Kim Utzon Arkitekter, “the building was conceived as a spatial ‘hinge’ that marked a transition point on the street extending from the old town of Malmo to the harbor area where the building is sited.” They continue, explaining that the form was inspired by unusual gables in the roof of the original Tornhuset, previously the historic Old Harbor Master’s building.
