Amsterdam Docklands III
The Whale is located on the Islands of Borneo and Sporenburg at the Eastern Docklands in Amsterdam. This building is designed by Frits van Dongen and is a very prominent and recognizable architecture block in Amsterdam. Inside are 214 apartments, 1100 m2 of office and retail-space, a underground parking garage and a semi-public courtyard which flows through underneath.

Very interesting, I see the whale! I like this building alot!! We need this kind of Architecture here in Canada instead of boring boxes.
This is also a box, just a different one with a hole in the middle and raised up high for the world to see. It would be cool if it were really a whale - constructed and living underwater. But with global warming, I am sure the Dutch will design one very soon if not already.
