7. Why did you pick this building? (write at least a paragraph on this question) I chose this building because I thought it was a pretty crazy structure and kinda makes you think your neighborhood's design is boring and not as creative as Habitat, however it also makes me question if it is a fire trap or maybe they can use the design to escape even, it is just a crazy design.
