#5 – King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center
Closer to the ground in comparison of the most of the buildings on this list but equally impressive, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) looks more like a villain's lair than a multinational non-profit organization. The crystallized design is the brainchild of architect Zaha Hadid, who designed the center as a series of interlocking, six-sided cells. Started in 2009, the steel frame of construction has been completed by now, but it's currently unclear when the facility will be open.
