7. Why did you pick this building? (write at least a paragraph on this question)
Here are the names of the buildings and the country they are located, remember 
I selected this because it is simply ab normal building for a library. So many of the different buildings that we will be looking at seem so foreign and extravagant that it makes it seem almost as though incredible buildings can only be located in places we will probably never end up visiting. This building however is an extremely cool concept and is not a ridiculous billion dollar building meant just for looks, it encourages new learning throughout the community.
