4) vist
5) not any i could find
6) a rich man wanted Gaudi to build a house for him
7) I picked this building because i thought it was so cool. I love the shape of it so much! It doesn't look like any other building, it looks so cool. I also have been in a hotel that is like that, hollow on the inside with tons of rooms around it. I thought the way Gaudi built this was so cool!

2) 1967
3) Canada
4) yes
5) it is worth $10 million
6) was and attempt to balance cold geometry against living, breathing nature
7) I picked this building because i have been to Canada before. I went to Alaska and Canada on a cruise. It was so beautiful in Victoria, Canada. There was flowers everywhere, so i like learning about all the different things there.

Eden Project, United Kingdom 
1) Nicholas Grimshaw

3) United Kingdom
4) yes
5) it brought 805 million pounds to the economy, doesn't say the exact worth

2) April 2009
3) Austria
4) yes
5) doesn't say
