Cardboard building arrives in Newcastle and other weird and wonderful creations around the world
A huge building made entirely from cardboard boxes has popped up in Newcastle city centre.
A whopping 14 metres tall, the art installation outside the city's Civic Centre is part of the Novum Summer Festival.
Several days, hundred of volunteers and more than 1,500 cardboard parts turned French visual artist Olivier Grosset锚te's design into a reality.
But alas, what goes up must come down. On Sunday a 'colossal destruction' saw the carboard box building torn down. It was only ever a temporary feature with organisers saying the cardboard will be recycled.
This is certainly not the first unusual building we've come across, take a look at some of the best in the world.

Meanwhile, we think this might just be of-FISH-ally the coolest building in India....

The design is appropriate - it houses the Office of the National Fisheries Development Board.
If fish aren't really your thing, you might like to BOOK into the Community Book Shelf library in Kansas. It's got great titles inside and out.
