While the good weather is coming to an end, at least there's great architecture to keep enjoying. And for the people returning to school or straight from vacation, don't worry we've compiled a list of residences we don't think anyone should have missed this week.

While the Glass House by Philip Johnson is now a historic site, it is often home to art installations by notable artists. Photos of Dots Obsession – Alive, Seeking for Eternal Hope, the most recent addition to the current exhibition by resident artist Yayoi Kusama, made the rounds this week. Naturally, Kusama has added her signature polka dots to the modern icon.
3. All the Right Angles

Originally built in 1857, this cast-iron former factory and warehouse is now a collection of apartments complete at the top of a striking penthouse by WORKac in New York's TriBeCa neighborhood. Since much of the area's buildings are deemed historic, the addition needs to be concealed from street view. To achieve this, the firm created an undulating form with an asymmetrical roof. Using glass-fiber-reinfornced concrete to achieve the expressive top, the materials nicely compliment the old and the new.
4. Life on the Coast

The Space Race might be over, but there are only a handful of these futuristic homes from the 1960s floating around. The Futuro House was designed by Finnish architect Matti Suuronen and Atlas Obsurca reports that are about 60 surviving homes. The Futuro is actually only constructed from 16 parts connected together.
