Bilbao Guggenheim Museum image source：http://ladyofthearts.blogspot.com/2010/07/guggenheim-museum-bilbao-frank-gehry.html

Guggenheim museum is one of Gehry's famous design. It's a museum of contemporary art, located in Bilbao Spain, on the Nervion River. The architecture completed in 1997, total area 265000 square feet, 150 feet above the river. Public facilities are including a three hundred-seat auditorium, a restaurant and retail spaces.
The Guggenheim Museum is like a ship especially it is located on the riverside, and the main building is looks like a steel flower. The architecture is very well designed in combination with the surrounding environment. The shape of the building is extremely irregular, architectural drawings are almost done by the computing program as it is too complicated to be completed manually. The site selection and the rich styling roof are very similar as the Sydney Opera House, but the spaces have been used more efficiently than Sydney Opera House. The building constructed by steel frame and coated with titanium plates. Because of the backlighting, the main façade of the building will be in the shade all day long. As the surface of the building is curved and in different directions, the building will have the changing light effects while the changing of solar incident angle in different time of day.
The Guggenheim Museum is as a symbol of Bilbao city, it attracts uncountable number of people to visit this city.

CC CC is a fairy from the ocean. She can fly and lives both in the sea and on land. CC is looks like a dragon but the tail is short. Her skin is blue, it is a nature color protection for her when she is in the water. Her eyes are big and beautiful. They do well in finding the lovely things in CC’s life. CC’s mouth is tapering and tough which is very suitable for ice chisel. There is a pair of antennas in CC’s ears that make her very sensitive. She also has a pair of gill on the side of her head to help she breathe under the water, so she can stay under the sea as long as she want to. CC has four short legs with webfoot which is suit for swimming. The most attractive thing of CC is her huge win, the pair of wins is on her back, and she can use them to fly in the sky.

CC looks like a carnivore but actually water is the only food for her, so she never hurt other creature. CC is very kind and being nice to everyone. She is good-natured and optimistic, she believes living with a positive attitude can make life getting better.

CC lives in the arctic snow world, an aesthetic and peaceful place. The temperature there is below freezing all year round. CC’s home is at the foot of an iceberg, it is a blue crystal house. The house is double walled which internal is a concrete wall and external is covered with glass. The glass can collect the sunshine and the light that reflected by snow or ice, then it will refract the ray of light and lead it to the concrete wall, which means the wall can be heated and therefore it can make a warm interior. As we know the surface of the Arctic Ocean is almost covered with the sea ice all year around, so I built a pipe inside CC’s house that lead to sea. Having this special pipe, CC can play in the water anytime. The pipe is normally close to keep out the cold air and only open when CC using it. Mostly CC lives alone as she really enjoys her own time, but she also have friends come to visit her time to time.
