onion architecture

I had some free time so i decided to have some fun with a red onion.







Ps i decided to make my Internet names uniform. I used a long list of names: kamielkaze, analcamel, cameltoe, camelfly, wiki, etc. So i chosed to keep my first online nickname kamielkaze. hope its okay with you and it isn't much administrative work.

As answer on Annom question:
For how far i know there isn't such a thing as onion architecture. The shape of an onion you see in many buildings. Its called the moorisch cupola if i'm right. A good example of this Moorish cupola is the Kremlin in Moscow


This is all about the total shape of the onion.
The architecture that is based, inspired or unintentionally looks like the parts of an onion is most found in the late expressionist architecture or the Deconstructivism architecture.
good examples are indeed the opera of Sydney, some of Calatrava his work, and some buildings in Dubai.

Cool! Is there such a thing as onion architecture?

The only thing I can think of is the opera in Sydney.
