1. The Guggenheim - New York City! Frank Lloyd Wright 1956-1959. Undoubtedly one of the greatest building of all time! The spiralling ramp is a unique circulation tool within the architecture. My favourite architect - known for his 'timeless' architecture that was always produced well before its time (falling water).

2. Vertical Garden - Various locations! Patric Blanc. The vertical garden, known as Le Mur Vegetal in French, is basically a wall, with a garden implemented on it. Not only giving any interior (or exterior) of a building great aesthetics, but also giving an environment factor into it. Holding great qualities like air purification, noise reduction and thermal qualilites.

3. Sprial Building - Unknown designer, still in the concept phase going by the image. This was my first 'spiral' building precedent that i saw, even before i thought of the Guggenheim. As my main idea was to have a building spiraling up from the ground, utilising all points to see the history that is within the HSW.
Unfortunatly, i cant find the link for this image to reference it.
4. Light building - Unknown what this building is called, the location or who the designer is. Nonetheless, the light effects is what got me. The use of technology and lighting to make the form of the building 'appear' deformed.
