Architecture Introduction

Nautilus House, Mexico
1. The structure was built by Javier Senosiain.
2. Built in 2006.
3. In Mexico City, Mexico.
4. You can visit the structure.
5. No information about the cost, but I'm guessing a lot.
6. It was built because a family was tired of living in their traditional home and wanted something different.
7. I picked this structure because it seemed super unique and I immediately wanted to learn more. The name itself was kinda cool, so I thought I'd check it out. I really loved the bright colors and nature feel of it. The architecture was so one of a kind and I couldn't not share it on my blog.
Guggenheim Museum, Spain
1. Frank Gehry
2. Built in 1997
3. Bilbao, Northern Spain
4. Open to the public
5. It costed 89 million dollars to build
6. It would be a good income source
7. I picked this building because it looked so cool and it deemed difficult to photograph. It almost has a mind of it's own, that's what it looks like to me at least. It just kind of spirals put of control in a totally cool way. 
Habitat 67
1. Moshe Safhdie
2. Built October, 1967
3. Montreal, Canada; next to the St. Lawrene River
4. Yes
5. Around $140,000 per unit/apartment
6. Built as an architecture project
7. I picked this particular architecture because it sounded really unique, like a really cool movie. Once I looked it up I knew I had to do it because it looked like it was straight out of a science- fiction cartoon.
Atomium
1. Built by Andre Waterkeyn
2. Built in 1958
3. Located in Brussels
4. Some of it is public
5. No cost information
6. Built for Brussel's 1958 World Fair
7. I picked this structure because it just looked really cool. The reflections on it really make for great pictures. I wonder what it looks like inside and hope to visit it someday
UFO House, Taiwan
1. Built by Matti Suuromen
2. Built in 1978
3. North coast of Tamsui
4. Yes 
5. No
6. Vacation resort
7. I picked this structure because it sounded so indifferent and a lot of classmates were talking about how neat is was. I decided I'd have to check it out for myself!
