Location, location, location

So, i now have four places to decide upon, and in my search, here are the places that peaked my interest:


Guggenheim



The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is a museum of modern and contemporary art, designed by Canadian-American architect Frank Gehry, renowned for creating bonkers buildings, the perfect start for my brief. This one is located in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain.


Krzywy Domek



Krzywy Domek is an unusually shaped building in Sopot, Poland. It is part of a shopping centre and totally looks like a giant smashed it around with a giant baseball bat when the cement was still drying, love it.


Casa do Penedo



Casa do Penedo, also known as Stone Castle or a Stone House, is an architectural monument located between Celorico de Basto and Fafe, in northern Portugal. Casa do Penedo is translated in English as House of the Rock. It kind of just looks like it was plonked there, a house that naturally formed, windows and all, nice and peculiar.


Lotus Temple



The Lotus Temple, located in New Delhi, India, is a Bahá'í House of Worship. This one feels entirely different to the others where, even though its still a bizarre building, theres something tranquil and peaceful about it. The other buildings look like the bi product of someone who's had a dash too much fizzy lemonade, whereas this one makes me want to attend it to relax.

So these are the four that intrigued me enough to look in to and will be diving back in to my sketchbook to work with.
