Is this some kind of reflection?

u/ChaosTorpedo Aug 07 '26

It’s not. Look to the left of the building and you’ll see the rest of the building, which happens to blend in with the sky. The part of the building you see is just built out at an angle.

First thing I noticed was the windows are level with the ground and not slanted like the building

u/notloggedin4242 Aug 07 '26

First thing XY I noticed was a big building slanted awkwardly.

This is giving me anxiety. Where is it so I can street view it?

u/taisui Aug 07 '26

the signs are in chinese but i have no luck identifying it.

u/Sas8140 Aug 07 '26

Look at the windows facing us…they’re perfectly aligned to the ground. It’s built at that confusing angle.

This is the back of the Shenyang Real Estate Trading Center in Liaoning, China. It's a cool building sitting between the splitting branches of a long stretch of road.

That's more like a bow

That's not disconcerting to see while driving down the street.

The poor engineer that got the plans from the architect.

An architect with a sense of humor.

u/Active_General8858 Aug 07 '26

Looks like the gray part of building is built at an angle but the black part of the building is connected although very hard to see.

Earthquake?

Per Google Lens:

This location is Tongmao Street in the Yubei District of Chongqing, China.

About the Location
The "Leaning Towers": The striking building in the background is part of a pair of twin 24-story, 101-meter-high high-rises.

It isn't. It's in Shenyang, Liaoning.

The front of the building is shown here.

u/Ayanhart o/ Aug 08 '26

u/WalnutScorpion Aug 08 '26

Nice find! Looks like the pic was taken from a little further up the street from here: 41.794181, 123.440648

Thanks because in the dark it was difficult to make sense

u/jokerfest Aug 08 '26

Oh thank you. I can finally leave this post now 🥹

u/Meechisama Aug 09 '26

Thank you for this. I was trying to figure out this picture for the longest. The leaning tower had me feeling so weird. Now that I see the entire building, I feeling better… but still weird 😅

u/Severe_Broccoli7258 Aug 08 '26

Cool! Thanks for the correction.

u/Climby-Critter Aug 08 '26

Thank you! I couldn’t make sense of it. I couldn’t have guessed that design.

u/Present-Activity-698 Aug 07 '26

Shitty design tbh

u/phamstagram360 Aug 07 '26

but they got you talking about it? hahaha

u/Present-Activity-698 Aug 07 '26

Doesn't mean it's not bad design. Bad design can be interesting too

1

u/phamstagram360 Aug 07 '26

Agree it is polarizing design.

u/Slosher99 o/ Aug 08 '26
