Cardboard building arrives in Newcastle and other weird and wonderful creations around the world

The structure was built in a workshop over several days

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 Grossetête'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.

Weird and wonderful buildings from around the world

It might look like an enormous glass high-heeled shoe, but it's actually a church in Taiwan.

Local officials hoped that the church's quirky design would convince more people to attend!

The High-Heel Wedding Church, as its known, is made of over 320 tinted glass panels and the shiny blue building measures 10m (36ft) wide.

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.

We don't know if any of you are fans of cars, but we would bet no way near as much as the person living in this next building.

This WHEELY cool house belongs to an Austrian designer who loves cars so much, he decided he wanted to live in one!

And finally, check out the WOOF on this Information Centre in New Zealand which has proven very PUP-ular with tourists.

The town has several buildings like this, where they've used old corrugated iron to transform regular buildings into works of art.
