Architecture Preview

 
KANSAS CITY LIBRARY
1. Brian M. Finn
2. It was designed in 2003 
3. Kansas City
4. You can visit it.
5.  10,000 dollars.
6.  The building was created to serve as parking for the library district. It was made interesting to attract viewers.
7. I chose this building because it generally attracted me. The books on the outside is aesthetically pleasing to me. The architecture could not have been easy, but I think the hard work was worth it. The building must attract more people than a normal parking garage, and it also encourages many young people in the city to read more. It contains some classic books, so the building hit home with me considering how much I enjoy reading, and how many of these books I've read. 





 CUBIC HOUSES, NETHERLANDS
1. Piet Blom
2. They were designed in 1984
3.  Rotterdam, Netherlands
4. There's a museum you can visit, yet some of the larger buildings were converted into a hotel.
5.  The cost was not online
6.  These houses were created to serve as a village in the center of the city and they can be a safe haven. They were also made to serve as urban architechture
7. These houses attracted me because of how unique they are. They are never something you would expect to see or live in, which makes them more fun. They are a new concept, and I was pulled in by this. They also have a very cool concept to them and I like that about them. I like how much thought would have had to go into building them.


 BURJ AL ARAB
1.  Tom Wright built this with Atkins.
2. Construction began in 1994.
3.  Dubai, UAE
4. This building is a hotel, so anybody can stay there.
5. This building cost 7.8 billion dollars to construct.
6. It was made to serve as a hotel and tourist attraction.
7. This building attracted me the moment I saw it. It is so tall so it really sticks out. The shape of it and its location also drew me in. It is in the water practically. You can reserve underwater rooms, and the view from the top is gorgeous. The Endless windows and interesting details added really make it special. This hotel is somewhere I would want to stay.

The scenery of the museum is also very pretty, surrounded with a gorgeous lake and other flashy architecture. The building is aesthetic and a gift to all.



NAUTILUS HOUSE
1. Javier Senosiain
2. 2006

 4. This building is private, it is a family home.
5. Cost not online
6. This building was built for a family that wanted to integrate their home into nature.
7. This house attracted me because of the rainbow windows. The light gives it a charmed, nature feel. The inside is such a nice, natural feel too it. The house looks like it was taken outside of a fairy tale. The building is beautiful and has a gorgeous look on the inside, while the outside emulates a sort of conch shell, giving it a rustic feel.
