an abandoned city
A little while ago I found some amazing photographs along with the story of an abandoned Japanese island known as "Gunkanjima". Now, I've recently stumbled upon these very cool space-age homes in the outskirts of Taiwan. Once again, this housing project is totally empty and falling apart and possibly haunted! I love the photographs and I'd totally live in one. And if you can't get enough of these homes, there are more photos in this flickr set.

very cool.I love things like that. We came across a few abandoned villlages when I was living in England. You could feel the history, even though no one was there any more.

Spooky...yet fascinating!
I wonder if R. Buckminster Fuller was around when these dwelling units were created?
It's a similar type of development to Bucky's "Geodesic Domes" and the "Dymaxion House"...History of Architecture...3rd year of Design school...it's all coming back to me...(insert Twilight Zone music here) :)
OMG VERY COOL! I would live in one in a heart beat too! Seriously LOVE future looking houses! hmm its a shame they are empty :(

I love abandonded factories, but this is something quite beyond even that.
