7.I find this project amusing for many different reasons and right off the bat it catches your eyes with the way that it was built, it is very different.Two things i really like is the name and the how much it reminds me of legos because i used to play with the. I have much respect for the architect because of how challenging this looks to design and build without it falling into a million pieces.

6.Built to be a resort for soldiers,
7.I chose this building for one of mine mainly because of the fact hat it is based off of ufos and look like them. Aliens and
things like that have always made me curious and interested and thats why i find this project that never got completed
very cool.

I chose this building as one of the five because i just think it is very cool that they built the building into domes and they actually look more natural then just some big tall building.Its also very interesting that inside the domes are gardens with plants.

7.I picked this building because it just looks very interesting and actually is not a museum.
This building looks like it could make for very good photos because of how the reflection that is has on each of
the spheres.Its also cool because there is an escalator connecting the spheres.
