Sculptured House
1. Charles Daeton 
2. 1963
3. Colorado, USA
4. cant visit
5. he sold it for 3.1 million. no info on how much it took to build
6. Charles inspiration was, "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 house because i wanted to see someone who lives in luxury. This house looks amazing. Its view is very pretty in the mountains.

6. Casa Milà was built for Roser Segimon and her husband Pere Milà.
7. I picked this building because it's huge. I like how it's older. This building reminds me of wealthy people. 

Nautilus House, Mexico

2. 2007
3. Mexico

5. there is no information
6. it was inspired by the sea
7. I like this because it's in Mexico. It has many plants and I love nature. It gives you an organic feeling. It's like a maze when you walk through it. 

Habitat 67
1. Moshe Safdie 
2. 1967
3. canada
4. it is for people who live there not visitors
5. no info
6. Safdie's design for habitat 67 started as a thesis project for his architecture program at mcGill university. 
7. I chose this architecture because of the name, Habitat 67. It sounds like the area where the most amount of paranormal activity occurred. The building is a bunch of apartment complexes and it looks futuristic.

3. united kingdom 
4. you can visit
5. it says that someone donated £50 million to help build it. 
6. it was built on a clay pit. 
7. I picked this building because i used to listen to a band called the Eden project so i thought i would check it out. Turns out the band was named after the architecture and it is a green house.
