The house in the first picture seems to be a Futuro. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futuro
Yes. Here is a picture of another Futuro I took in north Texas, USA.

Of a similar nature to the "brutal modern" sculptures above is The Mask of Sorrow, commemorating those who died building the Road of Bones across eastern Siberia.

Sochi is in Russia, not in Georgia, although close to its border.
There is also a 'flying saucer' house on the Port Hills in Nelson, New Zealand (-41.268880, 173.266371)
I believe it was originally used as a bank office during the 1974 Commonwealth Games in Christchurch & later moved into its present position.

I respectfully submit that the Dombai Futuro is actually a Futuro House and not a "knock off" - see http://www.thefuturohouse.com
there is a mistake about the sculpture in armenia. the sculpture is very famous among ex soviet countries and it is in Dağlık Karabağ, Azerbaijan. name of the sculpture is Tatik and Papik and it is so much more away from the Turkish border where Ararat is a part of. the photo is simply a photoshop and nothing to do with armenia.
There is a lot of incorrect information.
