The document discusses how Slovenia lacks a famous or well-known building that could represent the country. It proposes two ideas for buildings with distinctive shapes that reference local landmarks and culture: 1) A museum shaped like a sunken bell to tell the history of Slovenia and the legend of the sunken bell in Bled. 2) A wine museum or hotel shaped like a vine or wine bottle in Maribor to showcase the region's wine traditions. The key idea is to design a building with a unique shape that tourists will find memorable and want to photograph, helping to promote Slovenia.

4. However, there is no well- known or
famous building in Slovenia.
The image that Slovenia gives me are
peaceful, tranquil, quiet and beautiful.

5. For example, the Sunken bell is famous in Bled, we can build a
museum that the outlook looks like a bell. The museum can
introduce the history of Slovenia and the story of the legend of
the Sunken bell.
An other example is to build a wine museum or hotel that the
outlook looks like a vine or a bottle of wine, in order to
represent the story in Maribor. The museum can introduce the
wine traditions, culture or other things.

7. In other words, my idea is simply come from the
Cubic house in Netherlands and the Crooked
house in Poland.
There is no need to build a large
building, but the outlook of the building
needs to be remembered by tourists, it
can be a small museum, hotel, church or
school.

8. In conclusion, we need a representative
building that tourist can remember. The
outlook of the building needs to be special. It
will attract tourists to take photos in
there, which will in turn increase the publicity
of Slovenia.
