Our cities today are surrounded by numerous magnificent and iconic structures that take our breath away. This list, on the other hand, features some rather peculiar buildings that you are unlikely to have never seen before. From a building that sings in the rain to one that looks like a pair of dancers, these weird and wonderful structures are sure to blow your mind. Take a look.

1. The "Maison Fond", or the melting house, is a sculpture by the Argentinian sculptor, Leandro Erlich. It was made as a symbol of climate change.

2. This upside-down house in Brighton, the UK, is a museum of illusions.

3. The "Dancing House" in Prague was designed in 1992 by the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado Milunić. The house resembles a pair of dancers.

4. Cube houses in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. These innovative structures were designed by architect Piet Blom. Each of these unique houses represents a tree and all the houses together are supposed to depict a forest.

5. An extremely skinny block of flats in London. Nicknamed the 'Thin House,' this building measures only six feet (1.8 m) at its narrowest point.
