This version of 2D building is done by Nima Motamedi. Inside this post you can see some more amazing photos taken, and kindly submitted by Nima. This particular building looks like it lacks 3rd dimension. Do you agree? I can't understand how people manage to live in these :) Still, it would be cool to visit "worlds thinnest apartment", right? There are two more illusions that match this one - check out transparent 2D building and flat flats.
Nima also added detailed description: "Hey I go to your illusions site when I'm bored at work and I love a lot of them (especially the 3d chalk drawings). Anyway I wanted to help out. I live in San Francisco and was walking around Union Square with my camera when my girlfriend spotted this building. We looked at it and it looks like there is no side walls! The attached pictures show it from the illusionary angle and a different angle and you can see that its really a triangular building".
There's a building much like this along the River Walk in San Antonio, TX. I'd upload a pic, but my scanner doesn't work :( It really does throw you off when you see something like that, though.
how is this an illusion? yes, a building is shaped like a triangular? so what?! if you were to see this building from a helicopter you would see a triangle. BIG WOOP!!

You can clearly see that the 1st picture was photoshopped, and the rest are regular photos to fool the viewer!

Hey guys, its Nima (I took these photos). I'm glad some of you liked it and I thought it was funny that someone figured the first one was photoshopped, lol. Like the thread said, I took these down in San Francisco by union square if you want to see it...i think its around Market and Stockton (by the old navy). None of the photos are photoshopped but i think its amazing how the building looks 2d at the right angle! Cheers!

people don't believe what they don't understand... they think that the first is photoshopped because they don't understand that some buildings can look flat

Oh for god sakes guys. No one told you you HAD to look at these illusions.
Also, it seems many of you dont know what an illusion is. Just because it is a real life picture rather than painting that half of it disapears when you look at part of it, does NOT make it worthy to have half of you say 'this is lame' or 'this is not an optical illusion'. You must really have NO life if all you want to do is criticise what vurdlak posts
Also, so what if its photoshopped, still makes it an illusion

Gee... is it full of... flats?

it's not photoshopped(including the first one), i saw a building like this in san antonio. it looks flat because it has a very sharp angle, and it won't work on all buildings, just triangular ones
