The french Architect Axel de Stampa created a fun series of animated gifs called Architecture Animée they start to dance, grow and pulsate right in front of you which gives you a different perspective on architecture in some way.
Initially this gifs were a result of a project called 1 Week 1 Project were the two architects Axel de Stampa and Sylvian Macaux challenged themselves to produce one spontaneous architecture project per week.
From the website of Axel de Stampa:
Motion in Architecture is mainly associated to the 4th dimension: Time. Time, through the body, experiences the building. In Architecture Animée, Axel de Stampa uses GIF format to develop a different approach. While the visitor doesn’t move, the building offers different perceptions, comes alive and reveals additional evidence.
