8,500 bottles of beer in the wall - father and son build office out of beer bottles

The 300-square foot office, located in Chongqing city, consists of 40 layers of bottles that Li and his father laid out over four months.

Although full-scale installations in architecture are gaining ground as a method of successfully exploring and testing out spatial, material, and interstitial concepts (see the recent "Bigger Than a Breadbox" competition) Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology graduate Li Rongjun's beer bottle office seems less intellectually rigorous than a dare gone to its extreme.

Of course, getting inspired isn't about doing what's proven: it's about taking risks and sometimes falling flat on your face. According to Oddity Central, instead of going to the trouble of presenting his designs via rendering or plan, Li has apparently opted to simply build them. Li said “[The beer bottle office] will allow investors to see my products in real life and see my talent."
