If we asked you to name some famous architects, you could probably only remember two, both of whom are conveniently named “Frank.” That’s because the majority of buildings we see on a day-to-day basis aren’t memorable in any way. But while most structures adhere to the standard “giant box with doors” design, there are still plenty out there that were clearly the work of insane, overgrown children, built to either satisfy some lifelong goal, to stand out as a vacation destination, or to inject some pizzazz into the admittedly crowded and unglamorous field of mental health facilities.
