5) Unknown
6) A family wanted to live in a new refreshed place, they were sick of their plain conventional home so they had this built.
7) I chose this building because I was immediately drawn to it and its unique and breath taking design. I chose it also because it felt very homey and warm and I also like how much natural light they use in it to really brighten and lively up the home. It feels very magical almost as well like its from a Dr. Seuss book. I chose it because of those reasons, because its beautiful, unique, homey and magical. This house is pure awesomeness, I want to go visit it so bad.

5) Unknown
6) It was built for the 1958 World Expo, it was meant to symbolize Belgian engineering skills.
7) I chose this building because its really unique and I like how your in this separate sphere which hangs high up in the air. It feels really crazy just being suspended in the air by a ball, I liked the idea of that so I chose this. I like how its all disconnected and free and high up, i bet its really cool up in one of the spheres. I also like its geometrical shape.

5) Unknown
6) It was built as a pavilion for the the Worlds Fair, the Expo 67.
7) I chose this building because its really eye pleasing and futuristic looking. It reminded me of a bunch of little living pods that were all stacked on top of each other. I love the look its very modern and pretty, Its something I would like to live in, it feels very urban and awesome. I like how they all jut out of each other and they look like a bunch of disconnected blocks. Also I like how the windows go around the corners that looks super tight!

3) Dubai, United Arab Emirates
4) Yes, its a hotel
5) $650 million
6) It was made as a luxury hotel
7) Because its a ridiculous spectacle. Its a total original and breathtaking building. It is designed to look like a sail boat and it stands on its own man made beach in the middle of the ocean, which is pretty awesome. The architecture is beyond spectacular and its a complete picture-esque building and works well with its surroundings of the ocean and the beach.

2) 2004
3) Sopot, Poland
4) Yes
5) Unknown
6) The designers decided to make it after being inspired by fairytale drawings
7) I chose this because it feels out of this world. It looks like it shouldnt exsist and it kindve messes with your head, because of its irregular shapes. I like it because it feels straight out of a kids book or some fantasy land it feels really cartoonish and crazy. I like its originality and how it brings children books illustrations to life. Super cool, I want to go visit it.
