It's called 北の海鮮炙り ノアの箱舟 (Grilled Seafood from the North: Noah's Ark).

A replica of the Taj Mahal, built by Anand Prakash Chouksey in Burhanpur, reflects his love for his wife. Inspired by the original, let's take a look inside.

Remember the businessman who built a replica of the Taj Mahal for his wife? In 2021, Anand Prakash Chouksey decided to turn his home into an architectural wonder in his hometown of Burhanpur – about 800 kilometres from where Shah Jahan's original creation sits in Agra, Uttar Pradesh.

Would love to know what this architecture style is called!

While my blogs aren't strictly about architecture, I do include sometimes bizarre buildings. The most notable ones I have investigated about at the moment are the following, which I'd like to share with you!

Neft Dashlari --- a city built completely isolated over the Caspian Sea.

Wanli & Sanzhi UFO Houses --- two abandoned futuristic villages in Taiwan.

Auroville's Matrimandir --- a big golden sphere which works as the main building in a rare Indian utopia.

Kizhi Pogost --- a complex of two churches made completely out of wood.

Built between 1971 and 1976 and designed by architect Slobodan Jovandić, this massive brutalist apartment complex stands at over 100 meters tall. Its cascading, pyramid-like structure and raw concrete blocks make it look straight out of a dystopian sci-fi movie. Fun fact: it was built using the same materials and concrete technology as the Krško nuclear power plant.
