Fun fact, the home page shows a few places, these are called Ducks in architecture [0]. When I found out about Ducks, I've been pretty obsessed about them, and call them out anytime I see one. My favorite one that I found was a tooth at Mexico City Dentist [1]

- ybot2 4y agoI like the Oracle buildings in California designed to look like UML databases. https://maps.app.goo.gl/U7TWkc5mrQMGzkgY6 https://maps.app.goo.gl/U7TWkc5mrQMGzkgY6
- snug 4y agoWow, driven by there several times, I never noticed that!
- throwbadubadu 4y agoUnrelated but LOL, you really cannot place a bicycle lane better and more inviting.. and it ends just in the nowhere into a giantic crossing. "Its a trap" comes to mind. (:

- hackernewds 4y agoThanks for teaching me something new today. Wonder if there were a subreddit for these - there should be!
- snug 4y agoI have never found one

Starbase streetview is pretty cool
- snug 4y agoNot really the same, cool none the less. A duck is a building built in the shape related to the business they are in. If the ships were their offices, then it would be a duck.
