Bucket List

The presentations this week highlighted architectural structures around the world and the various styles they displayed. It was very interesting to learn about different countries and their accomplishments in design. One of the most interesting buildings was Burj Al Arab in Dubai. This building was constructed in 1999 and is the only 7 star hotel in the world. Dubai's recent expansion and total reconstruction of the city has resulted in some astonishing buildings and Burj Al Arab is a prime example.






The Copenhagen Opera House in Denmark was another impressive building. It was built in 2004 in Copenhagen and features a 24 carat gold leaf ceiling, as well as materials like limestone and marble.






I was also impressed by the buildings in Mexico, particularly the Museo Soumaya in Mexico City. This building was completed in 1994 and really showcases the unique designs seen in that city.
