Just as the concept of a "typical" house varies from place to place, so does the concept of a beautiful or avant-garde home. There are several Spanish-speaking architects who have designed world-famous homes and other buildings. Go to the websites listed below or others you may find to read about them and see their work. Then write a paragraph in English about what you learn about houses and architecture across cultures.
