4. Public building, is part of the shopping center with restaurants, cafes, shops and a radio station.

5. $30 million, completed in two years.

6. Ever sinced it was built, it became Poland's most photographed building

7. The reason why i Picked this building because of the way it looks and shape. The bending building creates a feel that the building was either squished or melted. The glass in the middle also contributed to the way it shape, it is very unique to see glass in the middle without thinking that it's going to break because the other buildings are bending. Also, this building makes a 2-3 D effects like it's kind of moving if you stare at it for a long time.

6.Dubai coastline is a great place for attraction to tourist therefore Burj Al Arab was develop as a legendary and symbolic hotel that attracted international attention.

7. Personally, I like this building because it shape is similar to a windsurf board that surfers use. Also this building is the top fourth tallest building and it's on a small little island. The design and this concept is simple yet it catches the attention of viewers like me and it's located by water, which creates the perfect vacation theme. I like how it's a hotel, very refreshing for tourists if they decided to visit Dubai.

6. Consist of three area, Opera hall, Music hall, and Theater hall. Highest palace of performing arts in China

7. This building is huge looking from the pictures, and it seems to be surrounded by an artificial lake. The concept of the design is pretty cool because the lake reflects the other half of the building. Also half of it is cover with titanium and the other half is glass which makes it look like a half peel egg, the light also brings out the building more, it is an unusual yet unique building.

Habitat 67, Canada

2. Built in 1964-1967

3. Montreal, Canada

5. Cost $17 million Canadian

6. It was an experiment in apartment living. became the permanent symbol of Expo 67 after it close, it was Moshe's experiment to make a fundamentally better and cheaper housing for the masses.

7. This piece of architect is very unique, because of the cubic shapes, Also how it's shape being hold together, just looking at it is already unique because of each cube popping in and out. Also it look like a bunch of cube stacking on top of each other one by one. it creates this feeling like it's about to fall apart any moment. 

Stone House, Guimarães, Portugal

2. Built in 1974 as a family's rural retreat

3. Guimarães, Fafe Mountains, Portugal

4. Private building

5. Cost is unknown

6. Built as a family's rural retreat

7. This building is very unique because it's made out of stone, the concept is similar to caveman houses back then. It's very beautiful and it catches my attention because who wouldn't want to live in a stone house?
Also it looks like it's a good house for people who's retired because the background view is perfect since it's located up in the mountains area.

This photo is representing the Rules of Thirds,  the subject is right on the points and portions that's needed. Also it's on the side that's counted for a third of the photo.

The photo that's shown here is balancing elements, The big subject is being maintain by the smaller boat by the back. It makes this cool feeling for the audience that the main subject is really huge by making a comparison to both boats.

The photographer that had taken this photo had considered rules of photography in their phototo. The first rule is creating depth, from the way that the photo was taken starting from the endless looking background put more depth and how spread out everything is.

This picture is very unique because it seem that there is two rules of photograhy in this photo. The first rule is viewpoint, instead of just taking a straightforward picture, the photographer had taken from bottom to top to capture the lights of the latern. The second rule is symmetry and pattern, the lights seem to be forever endless by having many of them, makes the latern repeating to make the picture more exciting.
