The Kunsthaus Graz
#1. Colin Fournier
#2. 1997
#3. Graz Austria
#4. Museum
#5. $50,000,000
#6. Its been a project since 1960, however was put to hold by government. Later in 1997 their was permission for construction, and from the enthusiasm of Colin Fournier the building was constructed.
#7. I picked this building, because this is the only one out of the one offered that was very circular without any straight, or very little straight surfaces. In addition i like were the building is positioned. In the background you can see simple houses in front of which is a vast construction with very unique design.
Burj Al arab

#2. 1994-1999
#3. Dubai
#4. It is a public Hotel
#5. $7.8 billion
#6. This building was built as the most expensive hotel in the world, and as one of the main attractions in Dubai.
#7. I chose this building because it is one of the most expensive hotels in the world. And that in about 50 years this building might be under water. In addition it is insanely hard to build on a small unstable island.

#7. I chose this building because i like the original design. And it is hard to imagine how much thought was put in as far as balance and construction goes. I have never seen a building in this style neither in life or on the internet.
Cube Houses
#1. Piet Blom
#2. 1977
#3. Rotterdam Netherlands
#4. Civilians Houses
#5. $233 euro per cubic meter
