correct, you're up, mud...

ok lets see if get this one...

holz's building made me thought about this one

oh well...there's two of those big windows...

mmm.... porto....

weird.

the protruding window one is souto de moura in porto. it erased my response.

Quebec?

magnifique!

The tree on the bottom picture, right side is a thornless honey locust. It is dwarfed from low temperatures.

This house either sits on a northward facing slope (wettest) or on any slope near a stream or river that has water flowing through it.

The Laurentians are the only place that would be where a tree like this could grow at such altitude and at such cold temperatures due to the Laurentians being thermally regulated by the Hudson Bay.

I know Honey Locust can grow in Ontario but not in the mountains.

it's in quebec, but not near hudson bay.

closer to montreal.

bump.

found it on archdaily.. YH2 in Quebec.. let's keep it rollin'

here's a classic:

Villa Tugendhat
MVDR

Another classic, for the last day of the year [in NZ]:

Rossi's Modena Cemetery.

Next, not so classic (right click for full size):

looks like that image has disappeared, so here it is again, plus a couple others:

tasty. french?

espana. i forgot to mask the file names too, so honor system is in place.

Vaillo & Irigaray
European Forum

next

barragan's casa gilardi

next up:

i think the location is fairly obvious...

it's in obwalden

Soren Linhart designed it--does it have a name?

^^ or maybe not? feh, my German wasn't that good to begin with..

linhart works @ seiler architekten.

he wrote an article on the house, but is not the architect.

the size of the glass panels on this last house is obscene...beautiful, but...

- Haus Optiker. That glass is insane simples; I like the second image up from the bottom, where it looks like there should be some support for the floor above but the window frame just glides below it, nice one holz. next one coming up in a few.

next:

i'm in love with those expansive (expensive!) glazing units.

good job, phu. i'm surprised anyone found it...

yours nordic? that looks like norwegian wood to me.

the house is nordic, but the architects are from a much warmer climate.

Schnieper Architekten - great website with plenty of documentation on their works. Very nice.

a hint; I was worried simples might have known it right away

Vila Isabella / Brasil Arquitetura - seriously, no one else knows simples is from brazil?

i recently ran across this project...

That interior is kind of sublime...

Bochumer Synagogue--Schmitz Architecture (Peter Schmitz)--Bochum, Germany?

yep. yer up.

Cool!

This hasn't be up on this thread at least in the past year, hopefully not at all...

Well hell, that didn't work!

Before I ruin my 2nd choice with obvious names, someone what to tell me how it's done?

there's a faint grey code below the response box, but it's:

<img>http://www.image.com/image.jpg</img>

with [ ] instead of < >

and if you need to adjust for width (if the image is wider then about 418 pixels) then you add a space then type width=418 after the url, so:

<img>http://www.image.com/image.jpg width=418</img>

again with [ ] instead of < >

Ahhh...thanks!

Here goes:

it's in Belgium

Nope, not Belgium...

Those tree forms are the trusses, not just for show--I'm loving the functional being morphed into the form aspect.

This is in India

The Tote
Serie Architects
Mumbai

Diabase, you've gotten it!

yowza. quite the monolith.

any more pictures of this? A hint?
