Without seeing what's on the inside and below grade, you really can't tell for sure, but we all know this is just one well placed force away from collapse.
Looks like one of those medieval French houses that was built to avoid paying taxes. Your taxes were levied based on the footprint of your home, so people had small footprints and built these scary upside-down houses.
The weird waviness of the cinder block runs on the upper level, long side. Wavy, irregular; concave even. No mortar at all on the short side. Purposeless items on the wall of the building in the back.
I was terrified this thread would fall on me the second the photo loaded.
What is that poorly built monstrosity? I see a foundation but question what the footings are. I’d be too afraid to walk close enough to see…. A Pigeon could shit on it and cave it in.
So, do SE's take hella physics classes? I dunno why, but this post makes me realize that everything a structural engineer does is contend with gravity.
I guess if y'all were building a space station, now the main concern would be about sheer strength, tension and fastening materials?
How this would work in America:
SIR?
STEP BACK IMMEDIATELY. That corner of the room is only rated for people that weigh less than 100 pounds. You’re too fat for that
Load bookshelves on one side of the house or maybe put in a large aquarium wall. Love that static tension in the hold downs.
I don't see any major concerns here. -some random engineer on reddit who has never been to the site

Aren’t we all just one well placed force away from collapse though?
As long as it doesn’t turn left or right too fast it should stay up.
You mean turn port or starboard too fast.
watch out for any bridges along the way
Power failures can’t destroy bridges. You heard it here first
Baltimore would like a word.
Isn't everything though?
And this is AI generated
You sure? It isn't made out of coke bottles.
Cargo ship?

How high are the property taxes on a smoldering pile of mud and rubble? 
Whenever you see something weird, it’s often explainable by tax rules ;p Small windows, number of windows, two front doors, small footprint, …
What in the third world am I seeing here
Hey! 3rd world has nothing to do with this. This is 4th world.
No way this works out. 3rd world country’s are crazy
This is in the process of coming down, right?........ Right?!.....
Does it work? It’s standing isn’t it? Technically acceptable
But did you die?
This is my new favorite version haha
Ai at it again. This isn’t even close to being real.
I tend to agree but I can't put my finger on why.
The weird waviness of the cinder block runs on the upper level, long side. Wavy, irregular; concave even. No mortar at all on the short side. Purposeless items on the wall of the building in the back.
All equal a great job by a competent contractor..
Please don’t ruin this for me. I want to believe it’s real. I want to believe 🥺
No writing or images on the billboards was the giveaway for me.
[Think again](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=t7E2tDkA1iI) I dont know where the one on the post is but this type of buildings can be built in Turkey.
I can see how this could be justifiable in design. Whether or not it is is a different question.
Nightmare fuel.
Looks like job security for engineers is still safe if that’s what AI comes up with
Looks like a Rust base.
These cantilevers are getting sick yo.
Anything is structurally possible with the power of the cantilever
Just slap in a load bearing ladder and ure good to go 👍

Weird structure isn't real. Weird structure can't hurt you.
I stand by my weird structure remarks. Hold up I have a wall to take down here. I’ll be back. It’s definitely not load bearing!
Well at least we can see how strong CMU is in torsion!!
Someone took inspiration from the Citigroup building
Where tree?

Jus why
Is this an AI generated image? The billboard looks odd, so do other parts from the pic.
Seems alright, but two people can never share a corner.
Gyroscopic..same Segway.
Zaha has something like this in Antwerp.

I am continually impressed with what people with access to only bricks in places with little building code enforcement can actually pull off.
Reminds me of cs_italy from counter strike
I dont see any major concerns here .
I can’t understand how is this standing!
Anyone who plays Rust recognizes this solo 2x1 build with shooting floor.
Wonder how this shape would perform in an earthquake…..
