CUBIC HOUSES
 The architect is Piet Blom
The test version were first constructed in 1974 and in 1977 18 houses were constructed.
It is located in Helond and Helmond in The Netherlands.
Residents get disturbed by curious passengers, one owner decided to open a "show cube" which is furnished as a normal house. Its open for public to visit.
Doesn't say how much it cost to build.
It was based on the concept of "living as an urban roof"
I chosed this building because it is unique and not simple like the rest of the houses and buildings.Also, because i had never heard of a cubic house or building and i wanted to take a lookm at it .It looks complicated but beautiful and the inside looks very nice and different from other places.Its really nice to see something new.People get bored of the same'oh things.




Krzywy Domek (The Crooked House]
The architects were Szotynscy & Zaleski.
 It was built in 2004.
 It is located in Sopot, Poland.
You can go visit can be entered from eaither Monte Cassino or Morska Streets.
No prices were found.
It was inspired by the fairytale illustratuions and drawings of Jan Marcin Szancer and Per Dahlberg.
I chosed this building because i never seen this kind of building an d it unbelivable that their is actually a crooked building in the world.I wanted to learn more and take a look at this unique building.No one would bealive of such thing that could exsist in the world.It looks pretty cool and crazy how they were able to build that.In Austin we seen so many buildings but nothing like this one.



The Ufo House [Sanzhi UFO)
The Taiwanese were the architects of this unique buildings.
The UFO houses were constructed begining in 1978.
In Sanzhi District,New Taipei CIty, Taiwan they were located
The pod-like buildings became a minor tourist attraction.
No information in how much it cost to build it.
The buildings remembeled Futuro houses.They were intented as a vacation resort.
This building i picked it because i wanted to know more about it sence it is called UFO Houses.It's pretty cool how people actually build UFO buildings when other people get all freaked out when they see a UFO thinking its an allien or something.I wonder if when people pass by their they get freaked out or something. I would like to go visit one of the UFO Buildings.Its pretty cool i wonder if it took long to build them sence they are round and not squared like normal houses and buildings.
La Pedrera
The architects were Josep Maria Jujol, the brothers Badia as iron forgers, the founder Manyach, the builder Josep Bayo and the plaster Joan Beltran.
Built during the years 1905-1910.
Located in 92 , Passeig de Gracia in the Eixamlpe district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain
Casa MilĂ  was a predecessor of some buildings with a similar biomorphic appearance:
No information in how much it cost.Must of cost alot sence it was build for a married couple and the husband the wealthy wido of Josep Guardiola.
It was build for the married couple , Roser Segimon and Pere Mila.
i chose this building because it looks fancy and it has alot of pattern and light.The building looks like a castle for a princess.It looks very expensive and one of a kind since it was made for a married couple.Even dough it was made for a married couple it looks like it was constructed near other buildings and theirs alot of people their.
 Sculptured House
Architect Charles Deaton was the architector of it.
  It was built in 1963.
3. Where is it located?
4. Is it a private building or can you visit it?
5. Is there information on how much it cost to build?
6. Is there a reason the building was created or the history of the building itself?
7. Why did you pick this building? (write at least a paragraph on this question)

Elements of news

-The concepts that make news news.
-There are facts that are newsworthy, and there are facts that are not newsworthy.
-There are facts which might be newsworthy in one town or at one school, but not in another town or another school.
-There are facts which might be newsworthy today, but not tomorrow.
-What makes a fact newsworthy is how it affects the people in your locality, the people who would read your publication.
-If the fact is not interesting to them or does not affect them in any way, it is not newsworthy

 An officer on Air Canada flight 878 was tired and took a nap when he was driving on the 878 flight .He was only suppose to take a 40mn nap.
 The captain and the C-17 were suppose to meet up.The officer thought he had seen the C-17 but he confused it with the planet venus.When he woked up from his nap he felt really unwell that's why he confused the planet for C-17.The captain noticed that he was wrong and immediatly pulled back on the control.
The 103 passengers that were on went everywhere , mostly the people who didn't have their seatbealt on , laptops went flying windows were missing.Some passengers and workesr were injured.It was all because the officer confused the planet to the C-17 so the captain had to pullback the control because it was going wrong and the passengers didn't know so they ended up hurt, mostly the ones without a seatbelt.



A 6 year old girl was aassaulting the principle and was damaging school property.
Who is involved?The police arrested the 6 year old that day at Creekside Elementary because she was not being cooaperative with them.She was charged as a juvenile with simple battery of a schoolteacher and criminal damage to property. An officer sai the girl was not charged because of her age.The mother was angry because their was no need for the police to get involve if she is a 6 year old not even a form juvenile yet.They had no need to put a 6 year old in cuffs.They turned her in to her mother because she was being bad and she was under age.

On May 26 , in Arkansa , Jose Jaimes was part of the crazy distructive fight that was happening with the army soldiers that were being hurt by the throwing  of fire papers and bottles by the people.They were angery because they were being so unfair with the people.
 
BALANCING ELEMENTS

This image shows Balance because theirs a big boat that gets our attention. Behind it theirs a smaller one in the back that is out of our attention that doesnt really matter to us.In balancing you always have the main object an another one place their that doesnt really matter.We can also say this image has simplicity since theirs not really much in the background.
 
 
VIEW POINT

This imgae shows view point because instead of looking at it like a normal imgae it was taken from the bootom view so we are looking at the lights that are up hanging in the sealing.We are able to see the bottom and side of the lights not just the bottom or just the side .We can also say theirs cropping because some people were cut off.
 
 
CREATE DEPHT

We can see depth in this image because we see the horses the mountains and tthe sky.It was taken from a different point of viwe like from the top of something .Theirs different thype of views we see .Theirs forground middle ground and the top which is the farder pat of the image.
