7. Why did you pick this building? (paragraph)
The name of it reminded me of a broken down building which i was hoping to see but this is pretty much what i saw in my head. It seems like buildings like these would be arriving all over in the future    to save a load of space for other technologies or more people. This building has a lovely design that i would be happy to live in.

7. Why did you pick this building? (paragraph)
Aliens spark my interesting and so does the future. When i saw UFO and house together it just sounded so interesting. It is interesting indeed, but sort of disturbing. The shape of the homes are disturbing but i like it. The history behind it is also interesting, something so old is still sort of talked about present day.

 I thought i would be a human torso sticking out of the ground. But then i saw it and it reminded me of a halfway twisted rubiks cube which is pretty cool. Also picked because this isn't some lame tower sticking to the sky, this is a one piece rubies cube digging into the ground.

I picked this because this is amazing.  It would be awesome to visit this place. The man with this idea for building this is a genius. Taking a piece from each part of wildlife into one. Better than just a normal zoo or something.
