    Something made of Legos. Or Construx. Does that count?

    Hmm. I would be the bubble house on I280 by the Padre Junipero Serra statue near highway 92.

    Yeah.

    1100 New York Avenue NW, downtown Washington, DC. Its facade is beautiful and hip, but its insides and additions are practical and structured. It's very DC.

    I'd like to be the Eiffel Tower. Especially after reading about the World's Fair in the late 1800's.

    Hershey's warehouse... Maybe Grey Goose's... maybe both? Does that sculpted dinosaur in Pee Wee's big adventure count? If I say an airplane hanger, so when the door conversation comes up and I say, "mines bigger," does that mean I have door envy? Maybe Bill Gates' house... I always wanted to be smart.

    Does the pyramids count? If I knew how to spell pyramid, I would be a pyramid. They have stood the test of time, and there is also mystery to how they even exist. How cool would it be to have so much mystery surrounding oneself? Yup. I would be a pyramid. No one would tear me down to build a strip mall either!

    I'd be a glass house, something like TK's "iT house" open, modular, sustainable. I'd grow an elaborate garden around it, and overlook the crashing waves of Big Sur. (http://www.tkithouse.com/)

    I'd like to be the house I grew up in. The bricks are still standing, but it - it's scale and dark corners and the place under the apple tree - really only exist now in my memory. I'd love to explore that particular memory palace . Actually, I think that what I want to be is a materialization of the memory of the house I grew up in.

    I would be the modern art museum in Paris, its got the coolest elevator tube thing in the world. Plus there are usually those guys dressed up as statues or some other street performance thing going on outside, so I'd always have entertainment.

    A library.

    A really cool, classically gorgeous library with good lighting and tons and tons and tons of books. And a kick ass children's section....

    Although its not exactly a building, I would be the ancient Forum Romanum in Rome. A long-lived center of politics, commerce, religion and the arts--wondrous at its inception, and still retaining its premier status as it is updated throughout the ages.

    I'd be Le Corbusier's Villa Savoie because of the phantom third floor roof garden. It's like the mind; it contains vestiges of earlier design iterations. Who among us is not at least in part the sum of his or her memories-- those lived, feared and wished for? I'd be this poem of a building.
