You have my thanks ;)

Interesting plan. Had me there for a moment as I could've swore this could be Oscar Niemeyer's handiwork.

Thanks, tintt

Very intelligent

It's two separate buildings with outdoor space between the two, but one project. Some hints, it's a Swedish religious structure consecrated 11 years later than tintt's building above.

*axonometric, isometric drawings make all 90° angles into 120° angles

FLW's Morris Gift Shop, San Francisco

hint: the project was published (probably for the first time) in 1928

Quondam nailed it! Please pick the next plan for us to guess.

Chris, yes that's the "general plan" for the whole project. I will try scanning the other drawings from the Film Factory proposal and posting them here in a bit. Leonidov is a fascinating character, mostly notable because of the influence his student work (mostly the project for the Lenin Institute and Library) was acknowledged for having on Koolhaas/OMA/Rem's archi-progeny...

yes! the Voluntary Prisoners project draws some pretty direct influence from Leonidov's work on linear cities, such as his project for Magnitogorsk

1. not a plan 2. you did not guess one, you don't get to suggest one 3. do you think there might be a purpose to your teachers not giving you the full info prior to the exam? consult class notes and do some research ffs

did you ever figure it out? 

 It's a gorgeous graphite drawing, and the author's signature (illegible as it may be) is in the bottom right corner... On first look it bears a resemblance to M. Ginzburg's Narkomfin building, but it seems to have a distinctly southern european or maybe latin american vibe... The underside of the looming block (presumably of apartments, or maybe offices) is really interesting in that it seems to have some extraordinary curvature to it, and is split down the middle by a spine of glass (light fixtures?)... Beside the obvious nods to the 'five points' - pilotis, ribbon windows, free facade - the curved glass mass tucked under the main block further hints at some sort of a relation to Corbusier, in the same manner that Albert Frey's Loewy House does (see further down)

Narkomfin?what do you guys think?

Seattle Library - OMA

Damn... reverse image search tells me I'm wrong.

no cheat needed for those curves - Carme Pinos, CaixaForum in Zaragosa, third floor cropped plan http://www.cpinos.com/index.ph...

well done you killed it;)

thanks! that's a great pick. the ground floor plan is also really interesting (http://www.archdaily.com/522894/caixaforum-zaragoza-estudio-carme-pinos/53b3ac12c07a80790f000295-caixaforum-zaragoza-estudio-carme-pinos-ground-floor-plan) and the project is extraordinary in section

Jardim Colombo, Sao Paulo?

No, but the date mentioned on the Wikipedia page that comes up when I google your suggestion is roughly a decade later than this project. This is in the northern hemisphere.

took a little bit of digging around, but once I figured out the site is the Acropolis, I could track down some really good info about this landscape project by Demetris Pikionis. Amazing project, questions the very notion of what a plan drawing is, and how it's translated into built form.

‘Plans and instructions are insufficient here, for the plan is not applicable as it stands, but serves only as a model representing a general idea which requires constant interpretation...what should be kept in mind is the ancient Greek motto, ‘make haste slowly'

Yes! Next, please.

Casa Malaparte, Adalberto Libera.

(I've just realized I need to figure out the previous building first.)

Oh - wait. never mind

Chris_Teeter - I suppose it does, especially when seen in close proximity to the Church of the Light plan

Marc Miller - well done!

.

Love that house.

Herzog and de Meuron with Ai Weiwei,
Serpentine Pavilion, 2012

Fuck me! That's gorgeous!

Gio Ponti, Planchart residence in Caracas, 1954

I want to say 3rd floor plan - since that drawing is not in the Aria d'Italia volume on Ponti that is on my desk, and that monograph has drawings of the basement (1st) and ground (2nd) floors

second hint: it's a project developed in close collaboration between an architect and an artist, both native to that region

third hint: The artist has said that he did not chose this place for his art, but that the place chose him.

el peine del viento in san sebastian

Such a fascinating project! I haven't heard of this before.

JLC-1 got it! Somebody better guess what the Corb of a plan he posted earlier (I only got as far as figuring out the Josep Lluis Sert was likely Dean at the time the designer in question graduated from Harvard) or he can pick and post another one.

Eduardo Chillida's Wind Combs (Peine del Viento) with Plaza del Tenis designed in collaboration with Luis Peña Ganchegui, completed in 1977

I've obsessed with chillida for a long time, have you seen his tindaya mountain project? I hope it's built sometime.

Hint for the plan I posted; it's a latin american institution, and the building is in santiago, chile.

That last hint was needed: the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC, Spanish acronym CEPAL) by Emilio Duhart.

http://www.plataformaarquitect...

Yeah, I figure, it's an awesome building, but largely unknown.

Oh dear, you know there's a book about this project. I'm going to have to read that!

The architect sees it as more sacred than a house but less sacred than a church.

I would assume it's a tea house, but then I have no clue beyond that.

No, it's more final than that.

Lenin's Tomb

Not quite that final; final, but transitory.

Here's a hint. This image is not of the building in question; however, the building depicted has at least one thing in common with it.

Gion Caminada, renovation, Vrin

The picture below gave it away!

Right architect, right location, which project are you referring to?

Google says "Stiva da Morts". I've been to Vrin but can't recall every Caminada building there.

Yes, Stiva da morts.

Hey, no googling. That's cheating.

that's an amazing plan with crazy corners! never heard of this project or architect

Yes, the Stiva da morts is one of my favorite buildings (based on what I've read, haven't been able to visit).

I timed-out, anyway, the hint image is one of Zumthor's vacation houses, which also use stickbau.

Stiva da morts:

habitat 67?

Def not habita.

i should have known (by looking)

I'd say it's spanish, has a modernistic gaudi feel to it.

My first guess was Nakagin Capsule Tower...and I realized it's footprint can't be that huge.

walden7?

Jose Antonio Coderch and Manuel Valls, Las Cocheras / Garage Apartments 1968-73!

I have about 100 photographs from when I visited there in 2010 :) amazing brickwork all over the place, great semi-private courtyards, and the gate to the property is a Gaudi original that was left when the parking garage, which once occupied the site, was demolished to make way for the housing project. (with a bronze bust of Gaudi nearby, I believe)

JLC-1 Bofill's Walden 7 is bigger, and has more interior voids, but definitely a similar approach to generating diversity through repetition and symmetry in plan

the Gaudi gate, my photo :)

this was the evil seed for that sin, postmodernism.

does it even need hints? everything is in the drawing!

let's hope not!

Moore's Italia Piazza.

I hadn't noticed the similarity between that plan and Lebbeus Woods' Concentric Field until just now.

that's pretty cool, also reminds me of another plan drawing, which i might post here later ;)

cropped version of Piranesi's roof plan etching for the Pantheon...

Le Corbusier's Plan Obus for Algiers

Non Sequitur, will you post a plan for me?

The Monadnock Building in Chicago by Holabird and Roche. 

half of it, actually. Here is the half by Burnham and Root:

The bay windows hint at the fact this is built in Chicago in 1880-1890s, and it is a memorable office plan in a building that set so many historic firsts. I also recommend looking into Owen Aldis for anyone interested in the developer behind some of Chicago's most notable early modern buildings

Good work

hint: it's an unbuilt project, planned for the same city as above...

last hint: the architect would be turning 150 years old this year. I'm out of internet's reach for the next 4 days, good luck! if nobody gets this one by end of today, just move on for now - maybe Teeter can pick one

Is it Frank Lloyd Wright's National Life Insurance Building, 1923?

yes, jw468!

Something in Japan, judging from the tatami layout?

Yes.

Indirectly related image:

Yes, the Imperial Hotel. Look closer at those involved with the hotel, not Wright's other work.

Another indirectly related image:

One more related image:

Yes, Raymond.

Raymond + Corbusier = ?

Is it Antonin Raymond's Summer House? Inspired by (or a copy of) Le Corbusier's Mattias Errázuris House?

Yes!

Interesting project. Never heard of it. I originally followed exactly the same path as Chris from FLW to Raymond, but thought it was a long shot. There are no plans to be found online, and recent photos don't show the original retaining wall that is so present in the plan.

Yeah, it's an interesting house. It's been awhile since I read about it; however, if I remember correctly, Corbusier was initially not happy about the house at all, but at some point came around and included it in his Oeuvre Complète, in the third volume, I think, as an application of his principles.

Kahn was my first thought, too, because of its similarity to the Trenton Bath House.

Not Kahn, but clearly inspired by him. But there is an even stronger connection to somebody mentioned earlier in this thread: John Hejduk

I don't know the details, but I can imagine that Hejduk helped to introduce the work of his reclusive friend to a broader audience in the US in his last years. Here's another plan of him:

No

that Nordic Pavilion plan is awesome

Lina Bo Bardi, Glass House.

My first thought was a villa from Paulo Mendes da Rocha, but it doesn't have a pool.

Think hot, dry, glamorous, and mountainous. Also, a pictorial hint:

yes, but which building?

when it was completed in same year as Mies' Seagram building in NY - 1958 - it was one of the first skyscrapers to be built in Chicago's Loop in 20 years... 

it also has the material it was built from as a namesake...

The Inland Steel Building. Beautiful.

you got it!

The design was started by Walter Netsch, who made the decision to move the service core out from the office floorplates (would be impossible with contemporary codes), and completed under Bruce Graham, who moved the columns past the floorplate perimeter.

it also has steel foundation pilings, which is uncharacteristic for Chicago

cool video 

a-f, you should pick a plan while people are trying to guess Nam's random challenge? it is supposed to be your turn, and maybe having two ongoing guess matches can keep this thread flowing a bit smoother...

this has been a very interesting thread, Teeter - thank you for that!

It has been interesting and has introduced me to architects I was previously unaware of!

Chris_Teeter, as the thread starter, can you post another plan?

it looks like the ground floor of a public building, either hotel or institutional (guessing by security/front desk location)...

One of your two guesses is correct

the rooms are labelled in French (salle petit dejeuner =  breakfast hall), so if it is Canadian, it'd likely be located in Quebec... could also be a sign that the architect is either French or Belgian?

and it is in Paris

I remember the building vividly with a bright green facade but am drawing blanks for anything else, I hate this game...

Yep that one, specifically

so - Hipark Hotel by Manuel Gautrand, for the record. It's got a neat figural quality! I would have never got there on my own.

randomised and a-f owe some plan picks

In all fairness, I didn't guess the plan, I only remembered the colour of the facade. Should have known it was Gautrand, I used to like here projects, kind of lost touch I guess. But okay I'm game.

It's actually a one family home that includes a studio for guests.

it was hard to find, at first I looked into H&dM, never heard of Mark Magazine either; found Peripheriques work quite interesting. 

MAISON GO, THIONVILLE

Yeah, really bold, playful,
conceptual, colour full and French, Manuelle Gautrand got me thinking of them again.

Yes, it's deceiving, that's why I thought it would be a nice one for this thread :) More info here: http://www.peripheriques-archi...

that's a pezo-von elrich.... thing. an installation for a park if I remember correctly.

The previous plan, that I probably shouldn't have posted, is still in the running btw :)

Yes, I think that will pass as a correct answer! "120 Doors" by Pezo von Ellrichshausen in Concepción.

really interesting to look at this plan in relation to Hejduk's plan for the House for Two Borthers posted earlier

I know this one, but I should let somebody else play :)

where are you from?

Chilean wife, por eso!

Que bien! Saludos.

Regarding the levels:

Indeed.

A bit pricey to rent!

I didn't realize the house is rentable. Have you read the monograph? If not, and you'd like to, it's posted at https://issuu.com/toomas/docs/juliaan_lampens.

Dankmar Adler and Louis Sullivan's Auditorium Building in Chicago, 1889

iconic project with a breathtaking section

.

That's insane!

Indeed, the section is cooler than the plan!

Here's a documentary if anybody's interested.

the plan does not have the same punch as the section, but is still extremely well resolved, and the curvature of the first tier balcony is the distinctive element that instantly gave the project away (for me). Revit? can you even imagine trying to resolve that ceiling in Revit???

Nope. Correct continent. Wrong country.

Nope. Lots of concrete. Has some nice column connections.
