The Museum of Modern Art in Vienna has a new look this month. Local sculptor Erwin Wurm built a house and with the help of a couple cranes, placed the house upside down on one of the edges of the museum’s roof, giving the appearance that the house just fell out of the sky. He calls he project “House Attack” and it was constructed as a statement against overdevelopment.

As depressing as that museum looks from the picture, I would think its more of a statement against ugly buildings.
