Real life buildings from this event ...

The first is the Aviary - I never expected we would find this building in the real world so imagine my surprise when I did.

This is the columbary at Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria. Built in the second half of the 1700s, it was completely renovated in 2009/2010 when alcoves were added to provide roosting space for doves.

Of course, the Oceanarium is based on L'Oceanogràfic in Valencia, Spain. Completed in February 2003, it was designed by architect Félix Candela. It houses 4500 animals from 500 different species and it's largest tank has a volume of 7 million litres.

Another building that we SHOULD be able to find a match for is the Institute of Biology. Some have suggested it is a match for Antilia - the billionaire's mansion in India. But we don't think so. The attention to detail by G! designers is too good to have this be a match. Does anybody have any other suggestions?
