Old, dilapidated buildings are usually an unsightly scene. In this case, however, miniature broken down houses are appreciated for being wonderful works of art.

They were then used to create small scale models.
Slovakian Gas Station by Atelier SAD
Atelier SAD architects designed this gas station in Slovakia which plays against the classic looks of service stations from the 50’s and 60’s with a strong modernist twist. Featuring a lark facade, the station boasts funnel-shaped supports holding a “melded trio of curvy horizontal discs.”
