The Porsche Design Tower is a residential building located in Florida. I like this building because of its futuristic design. This 60 story building has a robotic parking garage for over 200 parking spots right outside of each unit. I think its a neat design you can live on the 30th floor and park your car right outside your unit. Also, this building was designed by the popular car manufacture company called Porsche. I definitely can see some similarities from their design of cars and this building, I found the correlation between the two interesting.

notre dame du haut – le corbusier
This was one of the first modern churches ever built. I find this structure very interesting because of the different sizes of each window on the side of the building. At first glance this building looks more like a museum, however the more I looked at it, I saw resemblance of what a church would have. For example, the stained glass windows and the extremely high ceilings. A neat thing about the windows is that they scatter colored light all across the room because of the stain. This church is located in Romchamp, France.
Hong Ya Dong
The name of this building is Hong Ya Dong. It is located in Chongqing, China, and is a building imitating ancient China. I first saw this building when I graduated from high school. My friends and I went on a graduation trip together. The city we chose to travel to was Chongqing. Although this is a modern building, its style completely imitates the style of ancient buildings. When I first saw this building, I seemed to have suddenly returned to ancient times. I think the people who built Hongya Dong must like ancient culture very much, and it is also a good commercial method. This style of imitating ancient architecture attracts many people here. My friends and I also stayed in Hongya Dong for a long time, and we took a lot of photos. That day, my friends and I had a great time at Hongya Dong. Although we haven’t seen each other for a long time after graduating from high school, every time I see this building or see the photos on the mobile phone, I think of the time when we graduated and traveled. Hongya Dong is like a testimony of our friendship and it has profound meaning to me.
Bizzell Memorial Library
The Bizzell Memorial Library is one of my favorite buildings on campus. It is so attractive and wonderful to look at. The amazing color and surrounding landscape always brightened my day as I walked to class. It definitely makes me proud to call OU my home. If the beauty of the building wasn’t enough for me, all the memories that the Biz holds would surely make up for it. Every year of my experience has had some significant memory in the library, from freshmen year mandatory fraternity study hours to pulling my first all-nighter studying for finals. It is chalked full of horrible and great times and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.
United nations headquarters – le corbusier
This rectangular structure is an important building where some of the most powerful world leaders meet. When you see the New York skyline this rectangular building sticks out. The architect was going for a bold look because this is a building of status. When world leaders come to New York City the purpose of the building was to be grand and owe inspiring. One of my most favorite parts of this building is the entrance because of all the flags surrounding it.
The Armory at OU
The armory is really special to me because I was the last freshman class that got to use it before the restored it. it is one of the oldest active armories there are it is over 100 years old. This building has a lot of character and history in it. The armory just went under a year log restoration. They gutted the inside because it is a historic building so they could not change the exterior. The inside now looks very modern and much more open. The bricks and the building style really match well with the rest of campus. I feel very connected to the armory and I am grateful I got to experience it before and after the restoration.
St. Patricks Cathedral NYC
St. Patrick’s is an iconic landmark in New York City. I believe it is gothic style of Architecture. They just recently cleaned and restored it a few years ago so it looks nice and white again. It truly is a massive cathedral and the detail on the outside is insane. When you walk in the inside it is shaped like a cross almost. There is the large center and then two side wings of it. There are stain glass windows and a huge organ on the inside. It really is a beautiful building and I am in aw every time I get to walk by it or in it. Also the front of it is has a large court yard area with steps leading up to it which is very nice as well. I have always had positive experiences every time I have gone here
Fenway Park
I grew up watching the Red Sox so I always wanted to visit here someday. I got to take a tour when i was 17 and that was one of the coolest things I have ever done. Each part of the park has so much history behind it and character to it. The seats on the left field side are almost 100 years old so it is really cool to say that section is how it looked so many years ago. Also the park has its own garden on the top that not many people know about and they use the things they grow in the food they sell during games. I got the chance to go to a Red Sox Yankee game last summer and we sat in the outfield so I got get a really good view of the stadium and it was one of my favorite memories I have had. there is such a cool vibe and the stadium itself is so old but it doesnt seem that way its character has really grown with the times.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The MET has always been really special to me and my family. We try to take a trip to the MET at least once a year. I also had the chance to come here twice for field trips growing up. The building itself is like a work of art to me and there are so many amazing aspects to it. Besides the iconic front steps and the big center staircase inside, I love the glass room on the right side where the Egyptian room is. Each section of the MET is so unique and it really makes you appreciate the building as a whole.
Chesapeake energy Arena
This is where the Oklahoma City Thunder play basketball. This building is important to me because i’m an avid Thunder fan. Growing up I used to go to every home game and it was such a fun experience. In fact, I remember even going to Thunder games when it was called the Ford Center, which is the same exact building with some renovations. I made so many memories in that arena and saw many of my favorite basketball players of all time. The building is nothing special compared to todays professional sports venues being built all across the country. However, anytime I step into Chesapeake even for a high school graduation, I relive my memories of going to games.
