What's a YURT?

[:D][:D] glad you asked, serious answer is YURTs are described as large mongolian Teepees, I think they are wonderful Alternative Housing that is environmentally friendly, cost effective and unique... I first learned of then in some country living type magazines, and the retirement house for us will likely be a YURT by the lake...

There is an unusual building that I am in all the time. My school. It was built by an architect who later built a very famous mall in New Jersy. My school is built like a parking garage and has a strange shape. Like this:
/ \ I know that it would be hard to make, but it would give
_/ \_ you a lot of things to cover space with. The building then
_/ \_ 2 baseball fields, a football field, 4 soccer fields, and then
_/ \_ a cross country course going through the surrounding
woods.

How about an apple?
There's an apple farm just west of Kingston, ON that has a building shaped like an apple.
There's also a driving range/mini-putt golf course that has a "pro-shop" shaped like a golf ball here in Oshawa.

In Toronto I seen a billboard with a jeep sticking out of it. Last year at the calgary Supertrain show there was a magnificent display from a club in Edmonton, which had a wonderful model of the Calgary Tower which is a very odd building in its own right. i have often thought of modeling an N scale version of the Petro Canada tower in Calgary. It would be around 7 feet tall in Nscale and I am sure my wifes cats would love to climb it.
