The Big Day

In the volkswagen commercial, we see a boy dressed up in a tux and a bride awaiting someones arrival. The boy tries really hard to get there on time and as time passes we see the bride becoming more and more impatient. In the last scene, the boy walks into the church late to find the bride marrying and him not there to see it.

WHO: bride and groom, and young man
WHAT: wedding ceremony
WHEN: during a ceremony
WHERE: church
WHY: the young man loves the bride
HOW: runs into the chapel to confess it

In the first scene, we see a young man driving in the country side in gloomy and rainy weather. As he gets closer to his destination he runs into interferences with a slow trailer, a train, traffic light (etc.) The longer he takes the longer the bride at the church in the city becomes impatient. Once the boy arrives to the church the wedding has already started. The boy runs into the church to what seems like he is wanting to confess his love for the bride, but is too late as she marries another man.

I. Stone House, Guimaraes, Portugal 
     1. Family who wanted to use it as a vacation home.
     2. 1974
     3. Hillside in northern Portugal
     4. Private
     5. No
     6. It was used as a vacation home
     7. This building really intrigued me on how the design of the place was. The house looked very                            similar to the flinstones cartoon home. When building, the family wanted to make the house look like the flinstones home.

II. Eden Project, United Kingdom
     1. Nicholas Grimshaw
     2. 2000
     3. St Blazey, Cornwall, UK
     4. Open to the public
     5. No
     6. Greenhouse Purposes
     7. I really wanted to look into this building because of the design and purpose behind it. The greenhouse is shaped sort of into a honeycomb shape that a bee would use. I like how the greenhouse is very abstract and doesn't look like a normal green HOUSE would, the designers and architect actually put in the time to make the greenhouse no look like a greenhouse.

III. Sculptured House, USA
     1.  Charles Deaton
     2. 1963
     3. Golden, Colorado
     4. Private
     5. No
     6. Home
     7. This house has a lot of interesting structures and the way that it is designed makes it look like its leaning. I like how this house has a lot of uniqueness to its design and how the top of the house looks bigger than the bottom.

IV. Atomium, Belgium
     1. Ander Waterkeyn
     2. 1958
     3. Brussels, Belgium
     4. Open to the public
     5. No
     6. Used for museum type references
     7. I chose this structure because the sculpture was intriguing alone and really made me wonder how it was built.


V. UFO house, Taiwan
     1. Owned by Hung Kao group
     2. 1978
     3. Sanzhi District, New Taipei City, Taiwan.
     4. Demolished in 2008, were open to the public and then later abandoned due to haunted theories.
     5. No
     6. Vacation houses
     7. This structure intrigued me more because of the history behind it. I liked learning about thow the houses were closed down because of the haunting ideas that had been rumored around.
