Vodafone, Portugal 

This has to be one of the most unique office buildings in the world. The super modern building was designed by architects José António Barbosa and Pedro Guimarães of Barbosa Guimaraes architects and is a captivating design that speaks volumes. The architects took the Vodafone strap line "Life in Motion" and built a building which looks like it has fallen out of the sky and slammed onto earth, uneven and dishevelled.
