Connect Your Ideas

Imagine that you are an architect. You want to design a building

where form is more important than function. What would your

building look like?

Example I want to design a home that looks like a star. It would have five

points extending from the center just like a star does. If you look

at it from above, you can see the shape of the star.

Your Own I would build a marine park and aquarium that has curved walls that

look like waterfalls. Then I could have electric motors pump water to

make water fall down these walls. Also, some of the walls would be

thick glass so that passerby could see inside the aquarium from the

street, but only a little, so they would want to come inside.
