Design with a purpose
I once saw a building designed by Philippe Starck in Tokyo, near Asakusa to be exact.
It was literally a pretty modern architecture with a stroke of gold on top of it. Some said it looks like a carrot, but he claimed it was the head of the beer. Well, it is a building for Asahi after all.
Another building, outrageous from its appearance, is called Nani Nani, which literally translates to "what is it, what is it?" The owner of the building, Rikugo, came to see Philippe's masterpiece, upon seeing the structure the client exclaimed in disbelief.
Here's one interesting talk by Mr Philippe himself. Funny but thought provoking!
