La Pedrera, Spain

It was built 1906-1912
Its located in Barcelona Catalonia, Spain
You can visit it
I couldnt find the cost
The building was meant to be a house
I picked this building because I traveled to Spain and we took a tour of this building. Antoni Gaudi was a very famous architect in Spain and he designed many structures throughout Barcelona. Also during this time period it was a huge trend for rich families to commission huge buildings where they lived on the main floor and rented out the other stories to tenants.

Nautilus House, Mexico
The architect is Javier Senosian
It was built in 2007
Its located in Mexico city

it cost $218,000
It was built to be a house for a family
I picked this structure because ive never seen anything like it. I really like nature and this house combines nature with a home. It also reminds me of a fairy tail, 5 year old me would scream at the thought of living in this house. The thought of people actually living in this house is really cool and I wish I lived in this house.

UFO houses, Taiwan
The architect is unknown
They started construction in 1978
Its located in Taipei city, Taiwan

I could not find the cost
They were built to be homes
I chose these houses because I like the concept behind them.  The way they were designed is very cool and I like that theyre not just big UFO shaped houses. They have more thought behind the design of them.

Habitat 67, Canada
The architect is Moshe Safdie
It was built in 1967
Its located in Montreal, Canada
you can visit it
i could not find the cost
They were built for housing
I chose this because the thought of constructing this just amazes me. The amount of detail and work that had to go into building something that looks like this had to have been insane.  It looks amazing ive never seen homes like this.  And im really curios what made the architect decide to build just average housing that looks like this.

The Eden Project
The architect is Nicholas Grimshaw
It was built in 2001
its located in Cornwall, UK

it cost 141 million euros
it was built as a greenhouse/ attraction
I chose this structure because its very beautiful and its an amazing concept. To live somewhere like England but be able to see the rainforest and other environments right in your own city is amazing. From the pictures ive seen of the inside its gorgeous and full of amazing plants, I would love to visit it.
