Israel – Solar Water Heater

Today, about 90% of Israeli homes have a solar water heater on them.  This all started in the 1950s when the country was faced with a fuel shortage.  So, to deal with this, the government decided to restrict the time for residents to heat their water. 
Then from 1980 to the early 1990s, Israel was the first country to pass the law that all new homes must be built with a solar water heater.

Belarus – Rhombicuboctahedron Building

The top part of the National Library of Belarus in Minsk is in the shape of a Rhombicuboctahedron. That is, it has eight triangular and eighteen square faces. It is said to be one of the best libraries in the world. The National Library of Belarus opened in 1922. However, on the 16th June 2006 a new building, which took several years to complete, was opened. The library has over 8 million items in it, and this includes over 70,000 manuscripts, graphics, visual and audio documents. This twenty-two-story building also has a book museum, twenty reading halls, a sky deck and a center for international meetings and negotiations.   Notes: https://www.belarus.by/en/about-belarus/architecture/national-library https://www.nlb.by/en/about-the-library/
