Number of olive trees surrounding LA Almazara, a new olive oil mill in Ronda, Spain, designed by French architect Philippe Starck: 6,500

Inside the cube are numerous “fertile surprises and clear homages,” in Starck's words, including a metal pipe penetrating the exterior wall and a huge figure without a head or identity. (Photo courtesy of Starck)
