Sensory overload

1. I agree with this statement because I do think people look more at the products and materialistic things around a building rather than looking at architecture and history of their surroundings. I think this is due to so much sensory input from technology.

2. Honestly I don't want visit this with my camera because it seems like too much too look at. I wouldn't be able to focus on a certain photo I wanted because of all the things surrounding me.

3.  I think that I would have an extremely weird/ odd childhood growing up in a store like these. I assume that because each store is so specific that some businesses get more customers than others.

4.I liked this photo because I can feel the trying work that goes into a store like this.

La Pedrera, Spain:

Built: 1906 - 1912
Located: Building in Barcelona, Spain
Public building

I couldn't find how much it costed to build it.

It is known in history because of it's unusual architecture.

I chose this building because it was the first building on the list. The building has an interesting history as well as the architect. It was designed for a couple who wanted to live on the main floor and rent the rest of the rooms out as apartments.
