Stone House, Guimarães, Portugal
It was built in 1974 for a family so they could have a vacation/ rural house. It is built along a hillside in the fafe mountains in northern Portugal. It was considered private but people kept coming to visit it and now can be visited. It doesn't say how much it cost to build, especially because parts of the walls are boulders and it was meant to be a private home. This house is interesting because it incorporates the natural boulders into the house. I chose this building because it was unique and didn't change the way things were around it but adapted to them. It makes the house seem more hidden and mysterious. The boulders make the house abstract.
It was built in 2000 and it is located in bodelva , Cornwall. The architect was Nicholas grimshaw. It cost 141 million euros to build and is open for visitors. It is famous for the interesting done architecture and the way that it creates real life mini biomes. I chose the Eden Project because it is cool because of the concept and the architecture. There are many interesting aspects of the building and I like the way that the building looks imaginary and futuristic.
The library was built/ opened in 2004 and the architect was Mary Elizabeth colter and many others. It cost 10,000 dollars to construct. It's a public building and is available for visiting. It was created to make a fun place for people to have access to books. This building is built to look like a shelf of books wig huge book spines along the exterior of the building.
I chose this building because I like how it is a lot more creative than other libraries. I think the playfulness of the design will want to encourage more people to go and check out a book.
This house was found, so no one knows who built it or how much it cost. They are located in sanjhih, Taiwan. It can be visited. No one knows much about these houses like when they were built or why.
I thought these were intriguing because of their abstract yet symmetric simplicity. The mystery behind them adds to the story and I like the unique way that they are stacked.
This building is located in Malmö, Sweden. It was built in 2005 and designed by Santiago Calatrava. It is the tallest building in Scandinavia. It cost 220 million dollars to build. It can be visited and is a residential building. I chose this building because the way it turns kind of plays a trick on your eye and overall just finds a way to spice up a normal building and make it more creative.
Well done. 100.
