Dancing House

Not that I like it, you understand, but I found this strange office building in Prague, Czech Republic nicknamed the 'Dancing House'.

The design is based on a man and woman dancing with 6 floors used as office space and a restaurant at the top. It appears that the early designs were not meant to represent a man and woman - more a single structure with 'pillow-like forms' but it was subsequently changed to include a more masculine block (on the right).

This looks like a contractor's nightmare with the architect going mad. What may look good on paper is not always the easiest to construct....

And what is the man wearing on his 'head'?
