crazy constructions pt. 3.

It must be clear by now that Tbilisi shares both old and new architectural marvels. The Di Lucchi bridge is one of the most obvious examples: 


But there's also stuff like this. It's unclear to me who lives in these constructions, but in the outskirts of Tbilisi there's quite some extravagant buildings, like this UFO: 


Also, I finally found out what the elephant trunk in the central Rike Park exactly is: it's a theatre. But, of course, unfinished, and let's say: there's a lot of constructive criticism on it ...

But this crazy construction beats them all! So take a proper seat, make yourself a cup of tea, and enjoy the headquarters of the Georgian Bank (Sakartvelos Banki), on the banks of the Mktvari:
