Architecture

Alvar Aalto

Finnish Pavilion, 1939, New York



The Finnish Pavilion in New York is a interesting building due to its curving structure. The building drew my attention because it looked very fluid in the picture but also has a combination of vertical slats that compliment the curves with a blinds effect.

Louis Khan

Kimball Musuem, 1967-1972, Texas



This building is captivating due to its repetitive use of arc formations and the way in which the building has been built to interact with its environment. The water ducts and drainage are inventive with the way they are built.

Le Corbusier

Villa Savoye, 1928-1929, Poissy, France



This early example of a "International Syle" is intriguing for its attempt to be more universal in form. With its almost plain like exterior, the interior is made interesting by a balance of curves and straight surfaces

Task for Week 2



Stauncharian
These thick skull beasts are aggressive in nature, while living in clans they are often at conflict with one another and have very little to do with outsiders.







Aidgeo
The Aidgeo is one of the few races that live amongst human population. Aidgeo are very communal like and hence only live in small colonies on earth, which are in Jamaica and Mexico.







Felgore
peacefully explore the universe for the "The Greater Knowledge". The Felgore have a long history of co-habitation. Many are revered as gods in Galaxy of Warcraft for their ability to macro anything.
