7. Why did you pick this building? (write at least a paragraph on this question)
This looked like a building designed by a 5 year old. I wasn't wrong. Hundertwasser's creativity was unleashed on this beautiful monstrosity. Every window is different, the walls are crudely patterned, and trees grow on the rooftops. I don't see how anyone wouldn't notice this building, and I don't think anyone can miss it. 10/10 building. I love it.

7. Why did you pick this building? (write at least
a paragraph on this question)

This is when you copy and paste an image of a modern apartment building multiple times in a video game. Except this is an actual building. The building is eye-catching because of its quantity of blocky rooms that remarkably seem to hold together. I think this building is amazing not just because of its blocky design, but because when professionals saw Safdie's blueprints, they realized it was actually possible to create a blocky design that is Habitat 67.

no. Probably because the company that made it was haunted by ghosts.

These pods were originally constructed to be a hotel resort, however it was never completed due to a number of suicides, car accidents, and financial costs/issues.

It looked haunted, old, and weird. The story actually was captivating. This architecture was a unique example of architecture that failed due to luck.
