Wasn't this an 8-ish story building with each floor rotated and glass all along the exterior? I don't recall the name/location, but I believe they tore it down.
I found out days ago that this is the excellent Resurrection Chapel by Erik Bryggman. I've seen the photo of the altar once, but could never remember who the architect was. Thanks Helsinki!

Helsinki
Perfect & that's a nice photo! If you happen to visit Turku, there's also another building worth a visit close by Bryggman's, the chapel by Pekka Pitkänen, built a few decades later.
Apr 25, 18 4:51 pm ·

a-f
I would definitely do that. Pekka Pitkänen obituary was the reason I found back Bryggman's chapel. It seems like an incredible building, reminds me a lot of Lewerentz.
This architect is connected to the architect who designed a building I posted on the first page of this thread, I’ve reposted the relevant, related images below:
This architect and the connected architect referenced above both had their work featured in monographic publications published by the same entity.

You have, they apply to this plan as well; however, as you say, the relationship is different.
May 12, 18 2:24 am ·

Another hint: MoMA.
May 13, 18 7:09 pm ·

A hint related to the last one: this architect created a representative example.
May 17, 18 9:15 pm ·

-------
This architect would have almost certain known Kunio Maekawa because their employment with Raymond appears to have overlapped.
May 19, 18 9:39 am ·

This architect and Nakashima shared a formative place in their personal histories that wasn't in Japan.

Yes. This architect collaborated with Kunio Maekawa on a project in Japan.

Junzo Yoshimura- Forest House?

Correct! I haven't heard the house called that before; however, that appears to be one of the names it's called.
looks Koenig-esque, but it's not him. Is it in the west coast of the US?

it's an unbuilt prototype by Donald Olsen, which he called the Contraspatial House. Published in Art and Arhitecture in 1948.

Danzalop, it's a fine example of Bay Area post-war modernism. Olsen studied under Gropius, Breuer, and Giedion and worked for Saarinen and SOM, among other offices, before striking out on his own.

Pinwheel plan typology keeps popping up in this thread, and is indeed part of the google query that helped me find the arhitect's name.
It's a similar diagram to Tschumi's Alesia Museum, but smaller (and a much earlier project, I'm assuming). Any general location hints? On which continent is it located?

oh - of course - the plans I typically associate with the building are the tower levels
a little back to earth, these are consecutive floor plans from top to bottom

I'm sure there's bats there, it's vernacular in africa. Thermal mass, dirt and sticks, 4 stories high...I saw them in some encyclopedia when I was a kid, remarkable , you 've seen pictures of the place.
guess the plan [building]
Reidyish, but newer?
way newer. It was built from the mid to late 2000's
Sorry to intrude, but perhaps the section might help. The plan is surprisingly misleading in regard to how the building actually looks:
Looks like a section form La Defense.
Ok, Same basic shape, but a very different purpose.
have a smaller image?
sarcasm, pixels, or width... All apply with that image
Moses Bridge by RO&AD Architecten.
boom
and the section
do you know how they prevent the water from going over the side walls? is there a trench at the bottom in the middle?
They don't
Ha!
whoa!
Danlazop, are you posting something?
Yep, sorry. Here we go:
it's a museum, and it looks like RPBW, but it's not....
yes and no, it's not RPBW.
Parrish Art Museum by H&dM - I love it
Good job, sir.
Good job, sir.
I found it by "linear gallery museums"
this should be painless
A church?
not a church, also a museum
Ah.... National Museum of Roman Art by Moneo?
you got it
This diagram of the lower level is very cool...
.

JORBA pharmaceutical laboratories, "La Pagoda", Madrid, 1968 (razed 1999), by Miguel Fisac.
You got it. (Fisac was involved in Opus Dei in his younger years)
ok, my username is a slightly inaccurate hint.
Yes.

Did we have this one yet?
Jean Renaudie, 'Cité du Parc' in Ivry-sur-Seine, 1978-1983
one of the coolest french brutalist complexes, imho
.
.
and there's the equally crazy project in Givors:
If that was a question, the answer is FLWs Taliesin West, 1937-1959.
that is the correct answer!
... and I will celebrate by posing a bit of a riddle - a partial plan.
Aalto- experimental house.
... and that is correct!
<3
thought you'd appreciate a few images of the brickwork, Chris
I don’t think this ones been used yet
I’m drawing a blank, can someone else upload one in my place?
just to see if this guy has gotten any attention
any hints?
ok, a hint, he won a pritzker
that just shows how lame the pritzker prize is
Is it the Innovation Center UC, by Alejandro Aravena?
yes, but you had to look through all his published work, didn't you?
No.

Please claim your prize!
Not sure if this one counts. Technically its not a building, but is found within a building
A Space Of Light - Lebbeus Woods in collaboration with Christoph a. Kumpusch
link: https://lebbeuswoods.wordpress...
that was fast
I think we might have already had that one make an appearance on page 3 or 4...
Light travels fast
I knew I saw it somewhere before :)
I'm busy so if 1991 wants to try a new one...
this should be easy for some
a place where the story takes a place with repetitious phenomenological descriptions.
I know where this is from, but there is no name given. Aside from Dumas, French literature isn’t my “thing” (hint)
Meta-fiction, anyone?
Not sure if this one has been brought up before:
Cartier Foundation- Jean Nouvel
No reverse image search ;)
No need to. The fire escapes were a dead giveaway. Plus it helps when you’ve been there.
someone else can post one
that was fast...
i'll take that offer!

Good detective work threadkilla! The name, "Contraspatial House" is almost a theory in itself.
sorry for the delay, it has been busy. making this a really easy one (I hope nobody has to use google for it) to keep things flowing:
Danteum
I'm sure you know it, but could you name the architect? (this wasn't the only Danteum project around)
I don't know, sorry.
Giuseppe Terragni, mussolini's tailwagger.
I don't have one to post. JLC can have it.
look at that teamwork. something very fascist about you banding together for the win like that ;)
OK, thanks
this is not known, but it's worth knowing
HINTS. It's in Chile, built in 1962.
The lines in the elevation are concrete form board layouts.
Edificio Copelec - Juan Borchers, Isidro Suárez, and Jesús Bermejo
Wouldn't have found it without the hints. That's a wild section.
that's a wild everything! looks like every Corbu design feature collaged into one project.
Yeah, there was/is a school very obsessed with the modernist principles.
Here's an easy one:
coop himmelb(l)au? or Morphosis?
Morphosis
yeah, Diamond Ranch High School, I remember this made a fuzz in the mid 90's. Can't post right now, somebody up for it?
I'll post for JLC-1, but I think tintt should post one too
Marina City, Chicago aka the corn cobs
yes, Bertand Goldberg 1959-1967. site plan below - theatre is the House of Blues.http://bertrandgoldberg.org/pr...
I don't have anything to post. It's up for grabs.
Oh, hot damn, thanks Tintt... I'm always too late to play this lately.
couldn't find a worse resolution?
JLC... it's the only plan I could find online. Resolution is 850x400...
It's in french-canada by an american architect, late 60s.
Is it the Montreal Biodome?
Tintt, close but not quite. It’s also not a dome.
More sphere than dome
Oops. Montreal Biosphere. Bucky Fuller. Biodome is a movie with Pauly Shore.
Ding ding ding. There is also a Biodome in montreal, but it's not as famous or well known as the movie.
i had posted this one on page 5 ;) we need a list of what has been covered earleir in the thread somewhere...
^Damn, I missed that one.
Next:
very cryptic, impossible to search for - location?
^and you thought my plan was bad resolution...
It's terrible. Sorry. It's a house in Malaysia. I can post a section if needed. Plan is a bit undechipherable (sp?).
yes,undecipherable. let's see that section, but I'm afraid the pilotis scheme is really popular in Malaysia......
I can't figure out how to post a pic in a reply.
you have to put a dot, needs text to understand
It's the Roof-Roof House by Ken Yeang
It is indeed.
.
.
Yep - that's the one. It's too bad (if they were going to lose a building) that they lost the good one.
Seona Reid Building / Steven Holl Architects
believe me, this is a floor plan
Felix Candela, Los Manantiales restaurant in Mexico City
If I'm correct someone else can post a plan in my place. I don't have one ready!
yes, xtbl, I was looking for plans of the oceanographic in valencia, but they're all the same. Hey DC, show me that concha motel.
.
Scarpa's Villa Ottolenghi (1978)
Hints?
a house close to verona.
-
it's great, isn't it?
Fantastic.
It is, and it's not one of his projects that I ever really sat down to think about much, so I'm glad it was posted.
Next:
De Young Museum, Herzog & De Meuron
yep
Next up.
It's a similar diagram to Tschumi's Alesia Museum, but smaller (and a much earlier project, I'm assuming). Any general location hints? On which continent is it located?

JLC is correct. The Niterói Contemporary Art Museum By
... Niemeyer.
I don't have anything to post , please go ahead mtn_mn
Thanks, JLC. Here's one I found recently:
it sort of looks like a cathedral that was outfitted with a theatre space...
It is a plan for a theatre located in Europe - new construction on a site that has been used for a similar program in the past.
GDANSK SHAKESPEAREAN THEATRE, Renato Rizzi 2014.
That's correct
just wanted to bump this up - it's a really nice theater.
a little back to earth, these are consecutive floor plans from top to bottom

post here...winner of other thread
Ok, will post soon here. Good that this old thread is revived.
Hint. There is a cross somewhere.
I love that chapel!
is it in Japan?
No, but allegedly Ando Tadao visited it as a young man and it was the inspiration of one of his major works.
is it in brutalist concrete style of say the 60's or 70's?
Earlier, brick and wood. Nordic. and close to an important set of buildings by Aalto.
Otaniemi Chapel, the church in the forest Espoo, Uusimaa, Finland; 1956-57 by Heikki & Kaija Siren
didn't know this particular building or the architects, a simple google "brick wood church finland plan" did the thing.
Some current photographs here: https://divisare.com/projects/329795-heikki-and-kaija-siren-federico-covre-otaniemi-chapel
are you the winner? if so, post the next one to guess
NExt!
dead Italian?
not Italian, not dead either
SANAAish?
wrong continent
but they do have something in common with SANAA
.
SANAAlmost
They share a famous client
the plan by itself is quite deceiving. Construction hasn't started yet?
no indeed, still in development according to the architect's website...the project was unveiled in 2016.
hint to: "They share a famous client"
So one of the Serpentine pavilion designers?
yes
hint no. 2:
oh wow boy was the plan misleading. It's the Kere project in Burkina Faso right? The national assembly?
Very misleading indeed, wanted more to post the project than that particular plan actually.
This one
Yep, that one! More info here: https://www.archdaily.com/797283/in-wake-of-revolution-francis-kere-envisions-a-transparent-new-architecture-for-the-burkina-faso-parliament-building
