It might look like a giant shell, but this building is in fact the Ordos Museum in Inner Mongolia, China. It was designed by the MAD architecture firm and houses collections relating to the local history of Ordos and the surrounding area. The design was influenced by the Gobi desert and the building is clad in polished metal tiles that are resistant to frequently occurring sandstorms.
