Architecture Pictures


Nautilus House, Mexico
Who: Javier Senosiain
When: 2006
Where: In Mexico city
The reason the building was built was because the clients or people buying the house wanted something different and modern house. This house is a private house.
The reason I picked this building is because it was very neat to see, and it is just inviting. It's very surreal to my eyes to see the thing I usually only see at the beach to be turned into someone's home. Also hearing that the inside of the house it was almost like there was no floor but instead only walls of the house since the ground inside looks exactly like the ground outside. It was just amazing to look at and it makes me want to go to Mexico right now and stay there, just so I can say I lived in a shell.

Hundertwasserhaus, Germany 
Who: Friedensreich Regentag Dunkelbunt Hundertwasser
When: 1970's

Where: In Vienna, Austria
The reason for building this apartment building is because the mayor of Vienna wanted Hundertwasswer to make a building since he was a very respected painter. This building is open to the public.
The reason I picked this building is because it is very interesting and unique, well all these building are very unique. I think the fact that Hundertawasswer was able to make such an magnificent piece of art that isn't going to waste and gives people a place to stay is pretty awesome doing both in one.

 Guggenheim Museum, Spain

Who: Frank Gehry
When: 1997
Where: Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain
This building is open to the public. The reason for building such an amazing work of art is to show what inside is almost as astonishing as the outside. The random turns and curves of the wall where made to capture the light from the sun.
The reason that I picked this building was because it reminded me a lot of a place I once visited. It had the same unusual appeal and bizarre shape.Except that building was over seas in Seattle,Washington. I think it's the most unique and unusual things that catch our eyes and find more beautiful.
