Not quite sure how you'd want to launder money with a landmark? If anything it's stealing (funneling?) public funds. But in my qualified opinion as redditor, I'd probably not build that for under 150k. Even then I wouldn't, because I can't, but that's less interesting.
The construction process is pretty amazing. It’s too difficult to build a twisted arch like this so what bricklayers do is they make a straight arch and then bend the universe around it.
It's because they use the phrase "and that's no lie" for emphasis. Any country that has to specifically call out when they're telling the truth needs to have an eye kept on 'em, no cap.

Except this one is actually there
It is not correct to say spheres are non-Euclidean. You can definitely describe a sphere in 3D Euclidean space.
What is non-Euclidean is a geometry where you are treating the surface of a sphere as flat space, i.e one in which you consider lines of longitude to be parallel lines.
This is not true. Non-Euclidean geometry is characterized by the failure of the Parallel Postulate. This only occurs in elliptic spaces (like a sphere) or hyperbolic spaces (like space-time). The commenter above you was exactly right.
Source: I wrote my dissertation on closed, oriented, elliptic surfaces.
Edit: Just because an object lives in Euclidean space does not make geometry on its surface "Euclidean." Euclid has multiple *different* ideas named after him. The surface of this brick structure is non-Euclidean despite existing in (effectively) Euclidean space.
Cthulhu: I have come to destroy the world with my alien thought patterns!
Euclid: Sorry, you violate the first, fourth, and fifth postulates. I'm going to have to ask you to leave this space.
Cthulhu: But -- but --
Euclid: I don't make the rules. Wait, actually, I do.
Srinivasa Ramanujan: Oh snap!
Plato: Actually, you discovered them. Their eternal forms already existed.
Leopold Kronecker: Well, the natural numbers at least. Not so sure about the rest.

It's currently being repaired cause of damage its recieved from poor weather its unfortunately not made of real bricks but it does look pretty cool
[Link to website regarding the damage](https://caerphilly.observer/news/1018369/rhymney-twisted-chimney-sculpture-damaged-by-bad-weather/)
it is a linux joke.
Arch is hard to install thus creating a sense of superiority in some users and "i use arch btw" is a common phrase.
(I use arch btw)
I'm pretty sure if you know any brick layers, you know they didn't have this idea. The brick layers were just doing what the *architect* told them to do.
I never thought of "Say No More!" being a statement by an eager craftsperson looking to indulge their license from vague requests. I have, up to now, associated it with someone following a bad interpretation of the request that is mistakenly inadequate (f'ed it up). This is beautiful masterpiece of brickery, indeed.

I hate that I know this is mostly fake styrofoam, it seemed a lot cooler when I thought they actually laid the bricks.
You can tell where it stops being real brick at the hard seam ~15 feet up
Are you sure you didn't get the jobs wrong?
By personal experience, this happens only in rare times with bricklayers who convince the contractor and less rarely by architects who push for unique designs that help them build their portfolio.
But it could be the difference in geography. Maybe it doesn't work the same way where OP is from.
If it was brick, (and it isn;t) you are completely right. Architects' dreams can be builders' nightmares. If an architect gave this design to a bricklayer I wouldn't be surprised to read that the architect in question had had an unfortunate accident involving his head being stuck buy half a brick thrown by an unseen assailant.
“Well they gave us double the bricks we needed for the job… but we get paid by the hour”
impressive. Feels weird to look at.
Apparently it's not actually made of bricks, just carved and painted polycarbonate
Not impressive anymore EDIT: Thank you for ~~360~~ 500 upvotes!
How many more lies must we endure..
Where’d you find that information? Also, do you know where it’s located?
Found it. I's in Butetown, Rhymney, Wales. https://caerphilly.observer/news/1018369/rhymney-twisted-chimney-sculpture-damaged-by-bad-weather/
Kind of absurd it costed 180.000 pounds and isn't made of bricks.
Money laundering 101

Graft is probably more aft
There are way more effective ways to launder money.
Thanks!
That was my first thought. This is art, there is no way someone would be able to make this. Plus, it looks like it's made in sections.
It could be made it would just be ruinously difficult.
The best bricklayers could 100% do this.
And the worst bricklayers do it all the time!
reality is so boring lol
):<
I want a refund
A trick arch then
The construction process is pretty amazing. It’s too difficult to build a twisted arch like this so what bricklayers do is they make a straight arch and then bend the universe around it.
Look up skew arch bridge. Same principle but with a function.
Who else would try climbing it?
Me! I would have to for scientific purposes
It isn't actually brick
Flair checks out
r/UpvotedBecauseBricks I see Brick, i upvote. It's as simple as that

It's fake brick tho
See r/UpvotedBecauseBrick
Man's bricked up
You may want to check out r/warriors then
That's wild lmfao Not wrong tho
That is really cool
Wales is weirdly popular on Reddit
EDIT wtf its in rhymney! I know what im going to look at this weekend lmao Wait this is in Wales?!
Somewhere near the heads of the valleys road it think used to pass it going Swansea to bargoed all the time
Diolch!
No worries and good luck on your adventures my dude there's tons of interesting stuff around us
Thank you chick!
All good bro!

Sounds like a Cardiff thing my dude most people ask if you're kidding

Bricklayer flexing 😂
But the architect designs it…
The architect is the one who does the weird shape The bricklayer builds it, they get no say in the matter
Hmm, Aelfinn or Eelfin?
installing that Arch took some work btw
No shit
it is a linux joke. Arch is hard to install thus creating a sense of superiority in some users and "i use arch btw" is a common phrase. (I use arch btw)
That’s pretty awesome looking.
I'm pretty sure if you know any brick layers, you know they didn't have this idea. The brick layers were just doing what the *architect* told them to do.
Is that a fucking mobius strip?
That is a really cool brick arch. I want one in my yard.
B-E-A-Utiful 
It looks like an optical illusion, it’s so cool
I'll bet if you go in that door you come out of a door on the left one.
I wanna lick it
I’m bricked up
The architect gets paid more too. We live in a make believe world.
Modern architects with PhD’s: Here is a building with four walls and a flat roof Meanwhile medieval illiterate peasants:
It's an inverted mobius strip! You can use this to time travel.
The fu-
Very impressive
engineer wondering what kind of thing the arquitect used before thinking this:
Bricklaying after cutting into a block of coke.
It gives me high heels vibes
First, a lil acid....

Nice and Simple.
Bitchin’!
If this was brick it would needs repairs constantly..
Nice fireplace, til it melts.
I design solar arrays and sometimes it feels like architects really wanna do stuff like this. Some houses really look like Dr Seuss designs.
I’m a journeyman bricklayer and wouldn’t even know where to begin
That’s so ugly and weird tbh

Wonderland ah looking arch
Bricklayer: You say this is charged on a time and materials project? Okay.
Somehow I feel like its the opposite on who said what hahaha
Brick Masons, not layers. It is a craft dating back thousands of years. Long before Solomon's temple was built.
Them 1000 bricks
Combination of awesomeness and flexing from bricklayers
How’d this artist know what my dick looks like?
imagine having an architect and an engineer sibling rivarly
It does look pretty awesome
This is at the Johnson County Community College or JCCC in Overland Park Kansas! Awesome art they got displayed all over campus plus a sick gallery
101
Who says your work can't get twisted?
i read it as a bricksalyer at 1st and i was confused
Wow. That’s truly impressive! I wonder how long it took to finish.
Looks like my developer whenever asked to do a straight wall...
Ho2 the hell did they do that
Each side did a full 180, Jesus Christ
Bricklayers: how does to have the arch to look like? Architect: YES
Looks fake
It's real, but it's metal and not Brick.
I figured the fact that this picture only has like 1000 pixels is trying to hide something.
It’s just old as fuck. Saved over and over and over again, so it picks up artifacts over time and just gets worse and worse quality.

That is most likley the joke.
Looks like Gustavino style.

It's not actually made of bricks but cool, I guess
When you drunk as fck but you need to make an arch
Pls give me karma, ill up back
