holz, you're out of control....but we're reaping the benefit so, um, carry on!
that eberstadt project is remarkably similar to one i did in undergrad, except that my little box was hung from a parapet instead of sticking out of the wall itself, meant to be a sort of parasitic building for a voyeur-type. cool to see something so similar as an actual construction.
what i like about the projects you've been posting is the variety. i'm not one to criticize the cool refined modern box projects (several of which we've seen on the 'name that...' thread), but they do start to run together. here you've posted such a range of forms and approaches to texture and materiality that it's much more exciting.
studio granda: always a favorite.
when are you going to have a blog, by the way. get these things out there. i'd also love to hear what you'd say about them because you've obviously got a discerning eye.
thanks.

Also, regarding the RuckHaus...Doesn't it have furniture that folds out from the walls. I thnk you can see the outline of the table etc on the wall.?

i love the ruckhaus, and yes, the furniture folds into the wall for great effect. i'm not digging the latent swastika on the outermost facade, however...

if anything, i don't know enough (small projects) so anytime i find one, i feel i have to share it.

oh. yes, i have a pretty extensive image library, with these projects holding a special place. i'd love to work on a book at some point. but i'm not really experienced with that, don't know where to start and am probably too opinionated to be a decent author.
still throws me off to see my garden shed project tossed into this mix...

yowza! apparently an anthropologist in a place where it never gets cold, gets hot, or rains.
i love how sexy architecture can be when climate issues aren't part of the equation! you can imagine how exciting it was to go to l.a. and see so many wonderful things that couldn't work here in ky.
--
ok, here's one from me, a temporary exhibit structure in a downtown park. meant to house two exhibits, one the career work of a local architect, the other the development of our waterfront over thirty+ years. i organized the competition for the design, winning design by local architect patrick blackburn, but then i ended up doing all the drawings that got it built, helped get free and in-kind donations of material and labor, and did c.a. done about 1995-96?
thought it'd be interesting to start a thread (based on libraries, pavilions, etc) for small obscure projects: pavilions, bathing facilities, rest stops, kiosks, bus stops... trying to avoid the better known projects (so the EXPO & serpentine are right out)
the smaller the better! (and i don't mean file size)
