Architecture Preview

La Pedrera, Spain
1. Antoni Gaudi 
2. 1906
3. Barcelona
4. Public
5. no
6. it was made s a house
7. I chose this building because it was the first one on the list. I tend to pick that one because it is usually the best one since it is listed first. It also looked really cool on Eugene's computer when he was doing this.  

UFO Building, Taiwan
1. Hung Kuo Group.

2. 1978.
3. New Taipei City.
4. Private.
5. Not stated due to investment losses.
6. Living areas for people.
7. I chose this because the name had UFO in it. That usually makes the building seem interesting. It turned out that it was a pretty weird and cool building. I think that another things is that i didn't know much a Tawian so i looked it up. 
Turning Torso, Sweden
1. Santiago Calatrava
2. 2001
3. Malmo
4. private
5. no
6. It was to replace a crane to make a significant skyline
7. Because the name was intriguing. I got what I expected with it being a twisted building. I also chose because it  was in Sweden and Sweden is the home of myself and Zlatan. And anything from the home of Zlatan is good. 
Habitat 67, Canada

1. Moshe Safdie
2. 1967
3. Montreal
4. Private.
5. High per-unit cost of approximately C$140,000.
6. Created as apartments/living areas for people.
7. I chose this because it had a weird name. I figured that it would be a weird kind o storage thing like area 51, but i was surprised to see that it was a living space.
Atomium, Belgium


1. André Waterkeyn
2. 1957
3. Brussels
4. Public.
5. A triangular piece about 2 meters (7 ft) long sold for €1,000.
