6. It's a parking garage but I couldn't find anything on why they built the way they did.
7. I chose this building because it was a very strange design for a building and looked really cool. I found out that the part that looks like books is a parking garage and isn't actually the library part which I found amusing. The amount of detail put into the books was incredible and it amazed me.

7. I chose this building because I had heard of it before but I didn't know much about it. When I saw it I was amazed by how big it was. I thought the design of the building was great and it kind of looked like, to me, a bunch of bubbles cluttered around each other. Since I had heard of the building I wanted to find out more about what it was.

7. I picked this building because it looks crazy and fun. Parts of the building don't look like they should stay up, they don't look supported enough. The building has a very strange design for a bank which makes it all the more cool.

7. I chose this building because I wasn't even sure what it was until looking it up. It reminds me of Salvador Dali's 'The Persistence of Memory' or as most people probably know it, that painting with the melting clocks. It has the same droopy appearance as in the painting and I thought that was really cool.
