7. I picked this building because I thought it was super cool that it is on an island. I also thought it is awesome how it is the third tallest building in the world. The design is so interesting and unique. The tall needle like thing at the top is really cool.

7. I picked this building because I was confused on how they could build all of these "pixels" on top of each other. I think the design is so unique and cool because I have never seen anything like it. It is such a big housing complex and I am so amazed how they built it. The concept is so interesting to me.

7. I picked this building because it didn't look real when I first saw it. The picture looks like it was taken through some kind of weird camera but thats just how it looks. Im very confused on how they built it to look like this. It is so unique and I have never seen anything like it.
