This building is called the Torres Glòries in Barcelona, Spain and it is another piece by Jean Nouvel. It resembles the shape and structure of the Doha Tower in Doha. However, instead of intricate weave patterns that are on the Doha Tower, this building is covered with glass and steel. This allows for a nighttime spectacle because they light the building with different colors. This building looks like it belongs in the Middle East, but Nouvel brought that energy to Europe by designing this in Spain. Jean Nouvel has an intriguing creativity and it shows in his architectural designs.

Known as the Burj Doha or Doha Tower, this building is another unique architectural piece by Jean Nouvel. From first glance, it may look like a glorified silo-like building. However, the outsides of he tower is covered in intricate designs just like the dome of the Louvre in Abu Dhabi. You can see that Nouvel strives to keep some of his unique fingerprints in different buildings. This building is in Doha and it cost about $125 million to make and it is said to be a cousin of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world.

This is the National Museum of Qatar designed by Jean Nouvel. This is another architectural piece that caught my eye designed by Nouvel that is remarkably unique. The structure looks like giant circular disks placed upon each other, but in a beautiful way. I would love to visit this museum in Qatar one day. Also, it seems as if designing and building in the Middle East allows for more artistic freedom by some chance. I say this because it is hard to find many designs that look like this one in America. Personally, I would love to see more artistry flourish in the way we design our buildings here. This building is wonderfully designed and it catches everyone’s attention.

This building is called the Louvre Abu Dhabi and it is designed by Jean Nouvel. Like the Louvre in Paris, the Louvre in Abu Dhabi contains many art collection. It is deemed to be the largest art museum in the Arabian Peninsula. As far as its design, I was completely mesmerized by the intricate-patterned dome. It is unique and sets itself apart from the other Louvre. When I looked at more pictures, it showed how the light would pass through the small gaps on the dome, giving the building natural light but in pockets. It reminded me off a night sky filled with stars. This is a very intriguing design which is absolutely fitting for an art museum.

This is a picture of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. When I got to see this gigantic piece of architecture, I’m pretty sure my jaw dropped to the floor. I couldn’t even really make out the top of the building from the ground level. That was just crazy to me. I felt insanely tiny compared to this building. All of Dubai was just lined with one skyscraper after another. I wish I could’ve gone up to one of the higher floors to see the whole city from up there. Yet, I’m extremely glad I got to visit this building even if I just got to stay on the ground.

This is a picture of the place where I grew up. It is located in southern India in a small town called Mylapra. The first thing that might catch your eye is the bright pink color on the exterior walls. This is unique because in India, you can find houses painted in bright colors like pink, yellow, green, etc. This place is my true home because this is where I lived until I was 9 years old. This is where I first walked, first talked, and all other firsts. When I went back a couple years back, the house and the things around the house felt smaller than I remembered. Maybe it’s because I lived there while I was small and everything around just was bigger than me. Also, I felt a lot of emotions come up when I visited. That place is deeply ingrained as a key part of my life and my upbringing. Sometimes I wish I could go back because those were simpler times.

As you can guess, this is a picture of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy. This was another architectural piece that stood out to me when I saw it. It was very cool to see where the people gathered together to see entertainment. Though the Colosseum contained some graphic events back in the day, it is the model we use for stadiums of today. I tried to put myself back in the day at the Colosseum and I just thought about how it would’ve been a place unlike any other in the world. The people during that time would point to the Colosseum as their proud nationality. It was an amazing sight to see.
