Strong National Museum of Play

Margaret Strong

1969

Rockester, New York

This is a public building

No

The building was created because the patron Margret Strong provided the money

Well at first I thought it was one of those modern art public exhibits. Then I saw the door. I suppose the color attract me also. I also am curious of what the interior looks like as well. i wonder if the the outer degisn affects the inside.



Casa Milà


Pere Milà i Camps
1984
Barcelona, Spain where they speak Spanish
Public
No
It was a Playboy house oh yeah. I guess the guy liked his women like he liked his oranges rotten and seedless

I think the guy who designed was possible was gonna build a normal building. But then the town was giving him these suggestions. So it went from traditional Spanish building to looking like a turd after two suggestions. But it turned out just right.



Nautilus House


Javier Sensonian

2007

Mexico

It is a house so unless you want to get arrested in the north I wouldn't walk in.

No

The designer was employed to create a unique building

I choose and liked this picture. I choose it because I liked it. I liked it cause All Hail The Magic Conch. Also its that the design I'm really impressed by. it's actually the glass windows that i'm intrigued by.



Turing Torso 

Santiago Calatrava

2001

Malmö, Sweden

It seems you can walk in the building but its an office building and also a complex so there really isn't much you can do.

No

it was based on a sculpture that  the designer liked. 

I choose this one because i first thought it was suppose to be a replica of a human torso turing. So I thought i would see this gory image of a torso. But then I saw it and well it still look pretty cool



The UFO House 

N/A

1978

Sanzhi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan

It no longer exists but it was before abandoned and then private. 

No

It was intended to be a resort for the US military but then it got abandoned. It was then a tourist attraction but then it was demolished in 2010.
