7. Why did you pick this building? (write at least a paragraph on this question)

I picked this building because i thought the structure was different but interesting. The shape of the building isn't ordinary and i am now wanting to go see it in person.

Sculptured House

Charles Deaton built this

built in 1963

located on Genesee Mountain, colorado

im not exactly sure if it is open to the public because it says that it was sold.

the builder built it because he said he found the mountain and wanted to build on it because he 

felt one of the greatest reaches of earth. 

I picked this because i thought it was really nicely shaped, i would love to live in a house like this. Im going to colorado for summer so i want to go see it in person now.

Turning Torso

Santiago calatrava 

building from 2001-2005

Located in Malmo Sweden

it is open to the public if the visit is booked ahead

built to be a residential building

i picked this because i really think it is cool to have a really tall building that twists.

The look of it is modern and looks really cool and interesting  especially since people can live there.

Eden Project

nicholas Grimshaw

Construction started in 2000

Cornwall England 

 open to the public

for plants kept in the biomes from diverse environments 

I think the idea of this is really interesting especially since people can actually visit it and see all of the diverse of plants from different environments while being in a  cool bubble. 



The basket building 

The Longaberger Company thought of the idea

1997

Newark Ohio

yes its open to the public

its the company, they sell baskets and other home products

i thought this was really interesting for a company to make their building a creative shape.
