Street Interview
The hook — as said out loud
Is there a mic here? Okay. Do I look good? Yeah, you look beautiful.
The script — as said out loud
Is there a mic here? Okay. Do I look good? Yeah, you look beautiful. Yeah. Okay. Together. Okay. Okay. Wait, wait. Hop on the bike and get in. Hop on the bike and get in. What building made you fall in love with Casa Batillo? Most recently, the building that made me fall in love with architecture has to be the Kimbell Art Museum. It is absolutely beautiful. These vaulted ceilings that span just crazy lengths. But the most special thing about it is the light condition ins and yeah, it's amazing. The building that made me fall in love with architecture is the Citadel in Haiti. Look it up. Azkaban. It's this prison. Dear Hogwarts, the Sydney Opera House. Probably my favorite building. Alright, for me I would say it would be the Sydney Opera House. Oh, the National Assembly Building by Louis Kahn. Hi, I'm Sophia and the building that made me fall in love with architecture is Astley Castle. They showed it in our 1060 class freshman year and it took my breath away. Hi, I'm Michelle and it's the baggage shoelace factory, Walter Gropius. Hi, I'm Katherine and it's Castelvecchio by Carlos Scarpa. The building that made me fall in love with architecture is the Teshima Art Museum. I went to Korea and on the Cheonggae river, which runs through Seoul, they had an intervention where it brought people down. Everyone was playing in the water in the middle of the city. It felt like there was just like a river bank.
