Architecture Preview #1
Eden Project, United Kingdom 1. Nicholas Grimshaw 2. 1998 3. Cornwall, England, UK 4. Yes 5. 141 million euros 6. It was built to show the importance of plants to people and to have plant resources. 7. I picked this building because of how interesting it looked from afar and up close. The depth of the "walls and ceilings" is so interesting to look at. From afar is just looks like a blown up bubble but when you get up close you can see all of the little details that the architect put into the building. Another thing that made me chose this building was the landscaping around it. The building itself is very simple and the landscaping just gives it something a little extra. Guggenheim Museum, Spain 1. Frank Gehry 2. 1997 3. Abanda, Bilbao, Spain 4. Yes 5. 182 million dollars 6. It was built to be a permanent building to house the Guggenheim's art collection. 7. I picked this building because of where it is located. Architecture in Spain is always unique. T
