| La Pedrera, Spain |
2. 1906-1912
3. Barcelona, Spain
4. You can visit it but its currently closed
5. About 500,000 pesetas
6. Was built as a house for a married couple.
7. I picked this building because i really enjoyed the circular iron decks surrounding the building. The reason it caught my eye was because i know that Spain has unique traditional architecture and thought this piece would be intersting. I also enjoyed the columns on top of the buildings and the material that it was built out of. This is not the modern buildings we now see in America but rather a traditional spanish building.

4. private building
5. cost not found
6. A family was tired in living in a traditional home and wanted to move into a house integrated to nature.
7. I picked this building because I really enjoyed the diversity of this building. The stained glass wall caught my eye and is my favorite part. I also enjoy that the building is a snail shape and not the traditional square shape. The material of the building also made it pleasing to the eye.

| Sculptured House |
2. 1963
3. Colorado
4. private building
5. several million dollars
6. built as a home, inspired by the architect."On Genesee Mountain I found a high point of land where I could stand and feel the great reaches of the Earth. I wanted the shape of it to sing an unencumbered song."
7. I picked this building because the oval shape of the building and the lines really caught my eye. I also enjoy the location of it being on a mountain covered in snow, it makes the home look more appealing. The balcony is also really cool and has an amazing view.

| Stone House |
2. 1974
3. Portugal
4. You can visit it but it's not an official tourist attraction
5. cost not found
6. This house was inspired by the Flinstones and created to be a rural retreat.
7. I picked this house because it reminded me of the rock house in Shrek. I enjoyed the creativity built into this home. It blends in with nature and looks like a giant boulder which is what it is made of. I feel like it took a lot of effort to make this home because they had to carve it out of boulders.

| Cubic Houses |
2. 1975-1984
3. Netherlands
4. You can view these homes, some are occupied with people
5. $49,900
6. The design was based on the concept "living as an urban roof" . Each house represents a tree and together they create a forest.
7. I picked this group of houses because I really like how they took simple square box homes, flipped them and made them into something new. I also enjoyed the imaginary picture the architect created with these homes. The center of the homes have a vocal point and the lines on the home guide your eye to the center. I love how the homes are dynamic and symmetrical .
