Dubai is up again, but what did you expect? The city is home to the tallest building in the world, a seven-star hotel, and the only human-made archipelago modeled after the seven continents.

Its lace opening design is created by its 40 centimeter-thick concrete shell perforated by over 1,300 openings that create a lace-like effect on the building's façade. Aside from aesthetics, the shell performs a very specific function, acting as a "sunscreen," open to light, air, and views. The building even features solar technology to make it more sustainable.

This building either looks like something out of Alice and Wonderland or has been warped by space-time, depending on your pop culture perspective. This is no ordinary shopping center.

Designed by the creative Polish architects, Szotyscy & Zaleski, the building takes its inspiration from the fairy-tale illustrations and drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg. Almost cartoonish, the building looks like it's been smashed together. Completed in 2004, Krzywy Domek features stunning stained glass entrances, stone elevation decors, and even window frames with sandstone.

It is considered by many to be one of the most iconic buildings in the world
