Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - Cleveland, OH - Odd-Shaped Buildings on Waymarking.com

"This building was designed to express the dynamic music it celebrates, and emblematize the city that introduced the term "rock and roll" in the mid-1950s. Simple geometric forms are juxtaposed to combine diverse functions within a unified whole. A theater cantilevered over Lake Erie on one side balances a circular performance drum on the other while a 165-foot-high orthogonal tower rises from the water to engage a tetrahedral glass tent.

The building is set back in a 1.2-acre performance plaza on the roof of the main exhibition space. The site's change of grade was maximized to tuck the bulk of the museum underground and create a controlled environment for its highly interactive installations. The building rises with eight unique floor plates of decreasing size, ultimately ascending to the Hall of Fame itself — a contemplative fiber optics chamber."
