This is about as far south as you can get, and still be in Europe.
This architect is more famous for his articles, books, and exhibitions.

No, not as far south as that. I should have also said "mainland Europe" with emphasis on the "about". The building I posted is older than those below.

great research, Chris! It looked like a Mediterranean project to me, even before the hints, but so does a lot of modernism... Rudofsky is an interesting collaborator to have, as he advocated for a modernism that is steeped in vernacular tradition, and was pretty influential for a group of Italian architects who were Libera's contemporaries. He might have more international recognition than Cosenza, due to the success of his book "Architecture without architects". This house certainly seems to have design parallels to Casa Malaparte, and both appear to have been finished in 1937...
It was designed for the display of certain objects.

Franco Albini's Treasure Museum of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo at Genoa, 1963-56.
great hints! I ended up finding the project in Benevolo's "History of Modern Architecture". I think I prefer the graphic sensibility of the inverted ceiling plan:
Pirelli Tower in Milan by Gio Ponti and Luigi Nervi :) 1950's classic! the tallest building in Italy for several years after it's completion - a symbol for the country's 'miraculous' post-war recovery - and a precedent for the Pan Am / MetLife tower in NY with the tapered sides.
Have you seen his project (in collaboration with Nino Rosani) for the Palazzo Lancia?

Probably so, I can't recall it off the top of my head.
"Then, by chance, just as the design for the forum's oval were completed, our research uncovered the fact that the configuration of the space was the same as for the Campidoglio in Rome. That being the case, I thought, I might as well make it almost exactly the same."
I'm not too familiair with the work of Louis I. Kahn but I knew I saw that plan by someone somewhere in my recent hunt for James Sterling's building in Berlin and indeed:
Ok, this took a lot of googling. It's the Silkeborg Museum by Jørn Utzon. Unbuilt for what I can tell.

Constant and Asger Jorn were the only founding members of both CoBrA (hint1) and the Situationists (hint2) Hint 3 would have been either Sydney Opera House or the Utzon Center in Aalborg. Maybe too cryptic...
Can't post right now, if someone has a nice plan, feel free to post on my behalf. Otherwise I'll post in the morning CEST(Central European Standard Time)
Lingotto factory in Turin with an English Mini Cooper on the roof? I'm lost...ah wait isn't that a scene from the Italian job, with Michael Caine as Charlie Croker...no but what about the mobile phone tower in the back...I don't know.

That's it! Please claim your prize!
@Daniel:
You can post a plan now :-)
Okay, I'll go:
Not on top of a building and yes Japan.
hint:
*bump*
hint no.2:
"La felicità viene dalla correttezza"
The Todoroki Residence by Hiromi Fujii.
http://socks-studio.com/2013/1...
Yep, well done. Can see where Sou Fujimoto got his inspiration from for House N.
Next:
Villa Girasole! Angelo Invernizzi
Next:
nope
Located in the same country as the previous entry. Not a castle, but perhaps similar structurally, given the thick poche...
Another hint: there is no exterior. Or, rather, the exterior would be recognizable as a different building.
It was designed for the display of certain objects.
Franco Albini's Treasure Museum of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo at Genoa, 1963-56.
great hints! I ended up finding the project in Benevolo's "History of Modern Architecture". I think I prefer the graphic sensibility of the inverted ceiling plan:
Boom!
there's a typo in my first response, the museum was built between 1952 and 1956...
.
Church?
The Tuskegee Chapel by Paul Rudolph.
good job! I flipped the plan 180 degrees from it's usual orientation :)
this, again, is where the reflected ceiling drawing steals the show:
Which is on the cover of one of his books, which is why I recognized it.
yes, the book by Moholy-Nagy :) it's why i didn't use the roof plan drawing - would have been too easy!
Next:
Pirelli Tower in Milan by Gio Ponti and Luigi Nervi :) 1950's classic! the tallest building in Italy for several years after it's completion - a symbol for the country's 'miraculous' post-war recovery - and a precedent for the Pan Am / MetLife tower in NY with the tapered sides.
Have you seen his project (in collaboration with Nino Rosani) for the Palazzo Lancia?
Probably so, I can't recall it off the top of my head.
.
Prentice Women's Hospital?
Ah, you beat me to it. Did they demolish it? I remember reading about it.
Yes, demolished a few years ago. chicago.
I was hoping that would go quickly! Good job, tintt
Bertrand Goldberg, 1975
Next:
Konstantin Melnikov's house. Prentice hospital always reminds me of it.
Yes. And me too.
:) I almost posted this one instead of the Bertrand Goldberg!
arguably the best house in Moscow
Let's keep it round:
MVRDV's FROSILO?
Yes, sir, good job.
You are up.
nice.
more circles and curves:
Escuelas Nacionales de Arte - Instituto Superior de Arte, Cuba, by Roberto Ricardo Porro
Close, but no cigar. The plan is the ballet school by Vittorio Garatti. Porro did the ISA masterplan and several of the other buildings.
Ballet school:
Oops, something told me I should've waited for you to confirm my answer.
Evan, will you please post a plan for me?
Almost a circle, next:
No atrium, flip that arrangement of spaces. This is a relatively new project, there are few right angles because of an old reason.
Valeirio Olgiati's Atelier Bardill. Built within exactly the same volume as the building that it replaced.
This one is a bit related to previous post, conceptually at least.
Willis Faber and Dumas Headquarters by Norman Foster?
I'm much more fond of Foster's earlier projects...
I m going back to circles:
Gunnar Asplund, Stockholm Public Library
man, that was fast. I ll stay away from the classics next time. you re up.
the classics are good, but the rest of us have to use restraint and let more people get in on the fun - this is admittedly hard to do.
posting for jw468, possibly a classic, though better as a drawing than a building:
ok, hints...
It reminds me of a Piranesi plan but with too much repetition going on:
So probably something PoMo, no?
Found it: James Stirling, Michael Wilford and Associates Social Science Research Centre, Berlin, Germany, 1998
Images:
Can't post a new one right now, if someone wants to step in, be my guest :)
New one:
Part looks like the Piazza del Campidoglio. The rest.. .not so much.
Correct
Tsukuba Center, Arata Isozaki, 1983
Correct!
"Then, by chance, just as the design for the forum's oval were completed, our research uncovered the fact that the configuration of the space was the same as for the Campidoglio in Rome. That being the case, I thought, I might as well make it almost exactly the same."
–Arata Isozaki. GA Document. 8 1983, 11
hey, well why the hell not? ;)
while researching this plan I also read that Jun Aoki claims to have proposed the Campidoglio reference to Isozaki.
the fountain reminds me of Moore's Piazza d'Italia, posted here earstwhile.
Didn't know that about Aoki, interesting.
Image posting not working for me at the moment - someone else go....
picking this one based on Evan's previous plan pick :)
Ha! Nice.
too easy, but not saying it because I don't have anything to post.
I'm not too familiair with the work of Louis I. Kahn but I knew I saw that plan by someone somewhere in my recent hunt for James Sterling's building in Berlin and indeed:
model by Vira Koretska (http://www.deftlink.com/portfolio.html)

Once again back to the curves and circles:
Claude Parent? Looks a bit too "chubby" though.
Nope, not oblique enough ;)
Is it underground?
Ues!
Oops, Yes!
Is it in France?
Nope, a bit further up
Is it a swimming pool? Everything about this plan confuses me.
Nope, not for swimming, think more cultural.
Hint no.1:
Sly? That's Los Angeles policeman Lt. Marion "Cobra" Cobretti ;)
Hint no.2:
Ok, this took a lot of googling. It's the Silkeborg Museum by Jørn Utzon. Unbuilt for what I can tell.

I thought Utzon as Pritzker winner would be an easy one. It's unbuilt indeed although they made an exhibition with it: http://www.archdaily.com/789985/fatamorgana-utzon-meets-jorn
I'm not really well versed on Utzon. Funny thou, coincidentally
I have been reading a lot about him this week.
an easy one to keep the ball rolling:
Don't have anything to post at the moment, so leave this one for someone else :)
hint: I posted a photo of a model of this project on page 1 :)
The inverted dome is intriguing
sort of related:
UNStudio Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart
Can't post right now, if someone has a nice plan, feel free to post on my behalf. Otherwise I'll post in the morning CEST(Central European Standard Time)
I ll go:
Part of Bofill's studio / house in Sant Just Desvern.

I heard you like circles...
No guesses? Here's a clue:
Lingotto factory in Turin with an English Mini Cooper on the roof? I'm lost...ah wait isn't that a scene from the Italian job, with Michael Caine as Charlie Croker...no but what about the mobile phone tower in the back...I don't know.
"You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!"

Yes! I love this dome:
I guess this means you can post twice now.
Let's start with this one:
Millenium Falcon :D?
architect?
Sorry, I don't know without googling
You're allowed to google, just not reverse image search :)
It's now movie director then concept artist and effects technician Joe Johnston by the way: https://kitbashed.com/blog/a-complete-history-of-the-millennium-falcon
So FlameAura, you can post a new plan!
Here's the original drawing pre-coffee stain :)
Other version:
,
Okay, until FlameAura post theirs, here's my 2nd:
Is it built?
Yes, this one is.
And it's American!
phase 1 of the project even has an extra circle :)
They had to postpone the opening of the building due to the assassination of a local resident.
Clue at 0:45
Here is mine:
This one's easy, but I'll let somebody else play.
i don't think i've ever seen the plan, but this feels a lot like the louisiana museum...
Jorgen Bo & Vilhelm Wohlert, 1958-1966
Yes it is! It's one of my favourites buildings :)
I also like the danish Miesian style of their Piniehøj villas...
bump to keep the momentum
here's one i ran across while searching unsuccessfully for randomized's nine-square of circles.
My first thought was Torres Blancas, but this is something else. Maybe metabolist?
nope.
hint: most of this architect's work is at a much larger scale.
Is it built?
Built? US project?
Built, though I don't know if it still survives. US architect and location.
John Portman's Entelechy I. I only managed by going through projects from American architects with large scale projects. Very cool!
There's an Entelechy II as well.
You got it! Some more great period photos here: https://spfaust.wordpress.com/2011/09/22/entelechy-i-ii-the-magnificent-houses-of-architect-john-portman/
The plan from SEP 5, 17 8:33 AM is also still unsolved and has clues now!
Let's put an end to it then. Philip Johnson's extension to the Museum for Pre-Columbian Arts at Dumbarton Oaks.
It's like a weird combination of structuralism and postmodernism.
Ah thanks for putting me out of my misery, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep. It's very weird indeed.
Who would have thought this was a Philip Johnson? More here: http://www.doaks.org/resources...
Some more circular cores! And not too difficult...
Wasn't sure, googled "tower with cylinder corner", first page of images: Knights of Columbus Headquarters
by Kevin Roche & John Dinkeloo. 1967 - 1969 New Haven, Connecticut
Some pics:
Yes, you are correct! More info here.
Awesome clip!
And now for something completely different:
Creek Vean House by Team Four. Love the project, quite mature for recently graduated Norman Foster and Richard Rogers. Cool picture btw!
,
Roger's trademark rounded ends kitchen island gave it up.
Would have never spotted that :)
Here some details:
Foster has his entire archive online and it's amazing:

That's incredible. Thanks for the head's up.
More funny angles:
House with One Wall - Christian Kerez, 2007
http://www.archdaily.com/60401...
One of my favourite contemporary projects and architects actually.
Instant classic.
Next:
(sorry, couldn't find better quality)
I did find a better one:
*Doin' the humpty [b]ump*
Yes it's a driveway and there is a 2nd floor, no mountains unfortunately just sand and pine trees:
It's a project developed more or less around the time of a more known building by the same architect, therefore they share some similarities.
It s the Dutch House by Oma
Correct!
koolhaas at his most miesian
This is the stuff I drooled at while at school.
This house sneaked past me totally unnoticed all these years.
Well, it is the more discreet of the three that came around that time (Maison floriac and Villa d'all Ava being the other two).
