This building looks so weird that the municipality wanted to demolish it and build another building instead of it- but unfortunately, the architect (who obviously is slightly weird) lives in the other side of the street and doesn't let anyone to demolish his creation...

Probably not the coolest building in the world, but worth being mentioned:

The brain-shaped International Neuroscience Institute (INI) in Hannover, Germany.

Looks a bit like the Groninger Forum they're about to build in Groningen, the Netherlands. (Which is however NOT a cool building imho. Well, it's cool, but definately in the wrong place.)

Bottcherstrasse in Bremen gets my vote even though I'm not sure if it counts as a single building, but it is all connected.

^^ Very nice. I went to a lecture presented by Wilkinson Eyre architects last week and they were quite proud of the tallest building they've designed! It's a lovely tower.

Dutch coolness

Kraanspoor by OTH ( www.oth.nl ), Amsterdam:

http://www.oth.nl/projects/KAN/images/03.jpg


and more or less on the other side of the IJ: Silodam by MVRDV

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b59/beatax/Silodam1.jpg

well, I could fill pages with great architecture. But you can also just look at this polish (yes, I don't know why there?) page at SSC --> http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=639308&page=1
[EDIT - well, it starts off quite well, but quite soon starts showing boring skyscrapers]


But the coolest place I've personally been would be SESC Pompeia in São Paulo
