Is it only me, or does this home building makes no sense at all!? Is it 2D or is it just an optical illusion that appears because of the angle this photo was taken? To see another skinny 2D building example, jump here.

    that would be so easy to knock over if there was a tornado

    Ha I think I know now how it works! It’s just cardboard phtographed in an angle that makes it look as tall as a real building…He he, I feel smart now

    I think it’s real. the part that looks 2D, if you’ll notice, has windows that protrude, which may be similar to sunrooms. The live-in part of the building is 3D but the width is hidden by the “2D” portion. See it?

    come on people… this is a triangle design building. It’s a common design in architecture to give the illusion that it is a flat surface with no depth. If seen from a bird’s eye view it looks like a triangle.

    its a building with a falsefront to make it look larger, lots of buildings used to have that, it was an aesthetics thing

    its a stair of walls… triangle shaped… look at the picture closely, there are 3 different walls going in different levels.

    The very bottom one to the left is the lowest wall in the picture

    the wall to the very left is another level higher than the lowest wall

    and then probably more walls behind etc.

    definetely part of a film set.
    seriously.

    Omg, this isn’t cardboard or a film set! The other 2D building is in Niagara Falls, I’ve been there myself. I am still yet to find this one, but the building is shaped like a triangle, so that the opposite wall cannot be seen! /Jeez, don’t jump to conclusions. And no, it’s not photoshopped.

    i think its a triangle shaped building…

  21. rollinginsanity says:

    COuld be a bit of a stretch, but is the sky above the yello building painted?

    You can get this effect when shooting with a super-wide angle lens. The right-angle corner “distorts” into an acute angle, and gives the flat front effect. I noticed this when I got an 18 mm lens for my camera.

    oh, ive seen this building, its in san antonio, texas. if you take the riverwalk boat tour the tour guide will tell you, “this building is a live optical illusion” it is a triangular building, and when looked at from a few choice angles, it looks 2-D, its really vool

  24. MidNight says:

    Isn’t this a film set prop? That would totally make sense. Not so weird, after all. Though… I’ve never known them to actually BUILD the bottom part. Or maybe the action’s all there, but why pay to build the unnecessary top?

    Sorry, rambling. I’ll stop now.
