i chose the Centre Le Corbusier by Le Corbusier becasue it is a very unique building with many different interpetations as well as the feel that it looks like a lego set!















"...the building is complete but, within the confines of the spaces provided under the independent umbrella roof, change is possible in the exhibition and meeting room areas. This building was completed after the death of Le Corbusier and was originally planned as a private house—the house area being the detached section under the steel roof."
— Dennis Sharp. Twentieth Century Architecture: a Visual History. p286.

"...the minute Centre Le Corbusier in Zurich is two cubes, designed by Le Corbusier himself, with a ramp and an umbrella roof, also all steel. It is an exercise in modular construction elegantly carried out using enameled steel panels and glass infill. The plans were originally drawn for a house which was always thought of as an exhibition gallery as well. It has proved sufficiently flexible to be used for teaching and exhibitions."
— Sir Banister Fletcher. A History of Architecture. p1352.

10 creatures!!!

Bballer
Bballer- A small harmless creature, wins over other creatures with its charm and looks. Bballer is a flying creature and therefore is able to live in higher surroundings away from harmful ground creatures. It likes to live in tree dwellings and surroundings, this is because of food as they are herbivores and as wells as for protection.


Crops



Crops- although an unusual creature it is still very charmful and is able to easily befriend other creatures. Its front arm that is connected to the front of his face is very useful when it is in search for food in high places. Its claw-like mouth makes it easy for these carnivores to rip through its prey. This creature is very strong and distinctive and is very noticeable in its dwellings.

Dibboo




Dibboo- A small bird-like creature that has all the same characteristics as an eagle besides in octopus like tentacle as a legs. This tentacle like leg makes it easier for the bird to move through water but harder thru land but makes up for it in the air. Dibboo is very charmful and likes the company of other flying creatures.

Difdif



Difdif- A warrior like creature with a shield of amour for protection against other harmful creatures. This carnivore only eats fish meat and has to be surrounded by fresh water and vegetation so that it is able survive. Difdif is not a very confrontational creature and enjoys excluded surroundings but if in need to fight its protective shielding and mighty punch are a good tactic that it possess.

Equitable- this creature is not very strong or very charmful but rather a neutral being that avoids confrontation from other creatures. Its dwellings are mostly under barks, in tree trunks or underneath rumbles of leaves.

Fat Fairy



Fat Fairy- one of the most ugliest creatures. This creature possesses wings but has the inability to fly because of its weight. Fat Fairy has a deadly bite and kick but has the inability to grasp objects with its hands. With its charmful horns on its head gives the Fat Fairy the ability to be attractive to equally ugly creatures.

Hornous




Hornous- this creature with its thin and fragile frame gallops from place to place with its frog like legs and its grasping claws give it an advantage against its enemies. This goofy looking creature shouldn’t be taken for its looks as it is very strong and clever and is easily able to outwit its enemies. This creatures lives in communities near waterfronts as water is essential for the salvation of this creature.

Krimp




Krimp- this equally ugly creature to the Fat Fairy belong to the same sub-species but Krimp is a better warrior and is able to defend itself better in combat.

Leghorn



Leghorn- this six-leg creature is a mix breed between a dinosaur and a spider and has all the power of these creatures. This intriguing creature is an herbivore and lives in the forests and woods and is never far away from the rest of the Leghorn as it likes to travel in packs. Leghorn doesn’t have a stable home but rather is nomad and moves from place to place.

Taggydoad



Taggydoad- this frog like creature walks like it’s a spider, scratches like a raven and can be camouflage like a lizard. This little creature with the dimensions no more than a cane toad is stills a threat to its enemies. This creature lives near valleys and mountains.
