Peter cook wanted this museum to be unique and not like a basic white-box museum design but it ended up looking like a giant heart.

Atomium, belgium
Architects- André Waterkeyn and Christine Conix
This building was built in 1957
This building in just north of brussels, belgium.
The atomium is a museum in brussels.
I couldn’t find anything about the cost of the building to make.
The atomium was originally built in the shape of a body centered cubic iron crystal for the 1958 World’s Fair.
I chose this building because out of all of the building i saw, this one was the coolest. It really appealed to my eyes because it is geometric and fascinating to learn how it was built.
