Dancer House
The Dancing House, or Fred
and Ginger, is the nickname given
to the Nationale-Nederlanden
building on the Rašínovo nábřeží
(Rašín Embankment) in Prague,
Czech Republic. It was designed by
the Croatian-Czech architect Vlado
Milunić in cooperation with
Canadian-American architect
Frank Gehry on a vacant riverfront
plot. The building was designed in
1992 and completed in 1996.
Casa Mila’
Casa Milà (Spanish
pronunciation: [ˈkasa miˈla]),
popularly known as La Pedrera or
"The stone quarry", a reference to
its unconventional rough-hewn
appearance, is a modernist
building in Barcelona, Catalonia,
Spain. It was the last private
residence designed by architect
Antoni Gaudí and was built
between 1906 and 1912.
The Atomium
The Atomium is a landmark
building in Brussels, originally
constructed for the 1958 Brussels
World's Fair (Expo 58). It is located
on the Heysel Plateau, where the
exhibition took place. It is now a
museum.
Designed by the engineer Andre’
Waterkeyn and architects André
and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m
(335 ft) tall. Its nine 18 m (60 ft)
diameter stainless steel clad
spheres are connected, so that the
whole forms the shape of a unit cell
of an iron crystal magnified 165
billion times.
The Haines Shoe
House
The Haines Shoe House is a shoe-
shaped house in Hellam Township,
Pennsylvania about two miles west
of the borough of Hallam, on Shoe
House Road near the Lincoln
Highway. Modeled after a work
boot, the house was built by shoe
salesman Mahlon Haines in 1948 as
a form of advertisement. His shoe
business claimed it made shoes
"from hoof to hoof" because the
company began the process with
raising the cattle.
Cube Houses
Cube houses (Dutch:
Kubuswoningen) are a set of
innovative houses built in
Rotterdam and Helmond in the
Netherlands, designed by architect
Piet Blom and based on the
concept of "living as an urban
roof": high density housing with
sufficient space on the ground
level, since its main purpose is to
optimise the space inside. Blom
tilted the cube of a conventional
house 45 degrees, and rested it
upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His
design represents a village within a
city, where each house represents a
tree, and all the houses together, a
forest.
