Dave believed the idea was one of his best and would draw attention to the company, while simultaneously helping to build our brand. However, when he started spreading the idea of building a Home Office that was really a basket, he found that most people just thought that Dave was making a joke as Dave was a notorious practical joker. Not only did the bankers, architects and construction companies not take Dave seriously, neither did many of the employees who worked for The Longaberger Company, but Dave persevered. The dream was achieved on December 17, 1997 when the Home Office that is designed to resemble a basket finally opened for business. <img src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/articles/a173_basket1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Dancing House (Czech Republic)  <img src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/articles/a173_Dancing1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />The Dancing House is the nickname given to an office building in downtown Prague, Czech Republic. It was designed by Croatian-born Czech architect Vlado Milunic in co-operation with Canadian architect Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront plot (where the previous building had been destroyed during the Bombing of Prague in 1945). The construction started in 1994 and was finished in 1996.The very non-traditional design was controversial at the time. Czech president Vaclav Havel, who lived for decades next to the site, had supported it, hoping that the building would become a center of cultural activity. Originally named Fred and Ginger (after Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers - the house vaguely resembles a pair of dancers) the house stands out among the Neo-Baroque, Neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau buildings for which Prague is famous.The Piano House (China)  <img src="http://www.oddee.com/_media/imgs/articles/a173_piano1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />This unique piano house was built recently in An Hui Province, China. Inside of the violin is the escalator to the building. The building displays various city plans and development prospects in an effort to draw interest into the recently developed area.<a href="http://weirdwonderfulandamazing.blogspot.com/2008/11/worlds-most-creative-buildings.html" target="_blank">6 more amazing buildings after the jump</a></blockquote>
