But a section is not a plan.

Don't have time to post a new one now...

Makes me think of Aldo Van Eyck's Amsterdam Orphanage, but more as a structuring diagram, not the actual foorptint...

Hertzberger's Centraal Beheer?

Toulouse Le Mirail by Candilis Josic Woods?

Piet Blom's "Noah's Ark" ?

early sketches of le corbusier's Venice Hospital?

Evan, from what I understand the Venice Hospital was the big seed for the entire mat-building line of thought, but it wasn't as fractal-ish as the projects that spun off from it... Corb does use the pinwheel form in plan as an organizational tool for circulation , and it gets 'baked into' the mat building typological DNA...

The Venice Hospital footprint is more like Van Eyck's Orphanage - one of the pinwheel legs juts out farther than the rest...

a-f got this one right, though (just looked it up)

I realised this plan is almost always presented with a 45 degree rotation.

"Exterior"

Here the plan btw, I rotated it 45 degrees to fit the first one :)

That first drawing was almost too diagrammatic to identify the project - with this plan, at the very least one can discern the scale.

Maggie's Centre Glasgow OMA

Just got in the office, so someone with a good one please jump in.

It's a trap!

The Hague, ministry of foreign relations, but that's how far I can get.

Castle Wolfenstein.

select units for Habitat 67?

Elapsed time: 0:0:0.0000042.

yeah... I kinda know that project pretty damn well.

Should have banned Canucks but that would have made it even more obvious.

it would but does not help that it's that project's 50th year anniversary and part of the whole Canada 150 party thing.

All those little boxes on the calendar look exactly the same to me.

Not FOG, but shows some influence.

was in construction around the same time as FOG's Bilbao.

Ding ding ding.

Yeah! I guess JLC or Erik should still post one.

I'm in. Give me a minute!

Villa Guilia?

(Edit: Nope. The displaced half-circles threw me off!)

Not France. I'll give y'all a hint. It's not very far from the Fuhrerbunker.

Potsdam?

Getting close...yes, it's in Potsdam.

Yes, you got it. The Charlottenhof by Karl Friedrich Schinkel.

hint: German air raid target

Kölnerdom?

Ah no, it isn't... trying to interpret if it was a target bombed by the Germans or a target in Germany.

pardon the ambiguity, it was targeted by the Luftwaffe.

another hint: It's dedicated to St. Peter, but I think his name is usually omitted when this building is referred to

last hint / let's make this a twofer:

the two buildings share a namesake location, yet are separated by an ocean

Cathedral Church of Saint Peter at Exeter; Phillips Exeter Academy Library, Louis Kahn

correct!

Kahn's Phillips Exeter Academy Library, New Hampshire

Just reviewing the past couple weeks of this thread, saw this post. I was just reading Evans' Projective Cast, I think Exeter Cathedral was the end of the Gothic according to Evans. The ribs became more and more decorative culminating in this project, then the style fell apart. Great effect here though.

Thanks Andrew.Circle! I vaguely recall reading something about the Exeter cathedral by Evans... now I have another reason to borrow the Projective Cast from the library again :)

Must admit, I didn't notice that.

Hints:

This was this architect's last building.

As observed, this is a library; however, it's closely related to a museum that was recently renovated.

The related museum is in New York and no longer houses the original museum.

Yes!

Looks tropical with that large overhang or veranda and thin exterior walls, but that's all I got for now.

Yep. Hints: it's on the Southern Hemisphere on an very urban city that holds most of the author major buildings . And its design it's very similar to the architect's own house.

Thanks, although you could have waited a little longer after those hints, give them people some time. Beautiful house though, love the gizmo windows especially.

Congrats(!) you know the rules...

Kurokawa's Expo 70 Pavilion

Was actually looking for a plan of the Dutch pavilion by Bakema and Weeber but found this one instead.

Here Bakema & Weeber:

But here's Kurokawa:

I only recognised the space frame, obviously. Didn't know it was a beauty salon!

Alison and Peter Smithson, House of the Future, 1956

http://www.cca.qc.ca/en/issues...

it even came with it's own typeface!

you guys should check out the sections on the CCA website as well, it's a hell of a drawing set

A plan after one of Iakov Chernikhov's Architectural Fantasies?

I have no clue but it's beautiful and strange, like Brick Country House crossed with Sonsbeek Pavillion.

Derivative, but not Mies.

I like the Iakov Chernikov parallel, randomised

derivative from the Brick Country House on purpose. This architect shares a name with a Pritzker Prize winner, but his work is all his own

additonal hint: the project's site is at the Western foot of Mt. Vesuvius, and the project's program is not unrelated to volcanic activity

that is the most weird coincidence - I've never heard of this guy before, and he's almost the same age as the pritzker winner - they weren't even related.... his style picks a lot from antonio sant'elia, don't you think?

JLC-1, yeah it's pretty crazy stuff with the name, right? This one's definitely a Futurist. Are you going to name the plan?

Ok, although I had to look it up, it's a plan for a Foundry in Ercolano by Aldo LORIS Rossi. Never built for what I can gather.

correct. never built, just like the Brick Country House project by Mies, which it so clearly refernces. Aldo Loris Rossi (Neapolitan) was a fantastic architect, though - and I think the main reason more people haven't heard of him is because of the overlapping name with the much more famous Aldo Rossi (Milanese).

the work is like Sant'Elia meets John Lautner, with some Iakov Chernikov spice thrown in for even more extra

US, italian architect, it's a house

Wow, didn't know this one. Apparently hasn't been published much. Renzo Piano's House for the Pritzkers.

It was published in Arch Record a couple of years ago....without the name of course.

http://www.architecturalrecord.com/articles/8817-house-in-the-rockies?v=preview

"a friend asked him..."

Quite the friend. The building is more museum than house so not a great departure for Piano. Great building non the less.

looks japanese in size

yep, the architects are not thou.

Klein Dytham?

Nope. They are both trained in the UK and are a couple too, thou. Were very prominent in the nineties, mainly because of a Library in Germany and a theater in the Netherlands.

Okay I knew it from that theatre hint. Bolles+Wilson's Suzuki House. Awesome project by the way, never knew it.

This is the project description:
A house as a large family room suspended in the city.
A house with a child’s room suspended within.
A house with two legs and a usable roof.
A house glanced by a passing Ninja.
(Impressed Shadow Facade)

One of my top 5.

Beautiful!

Double House, MVRDV + Bjarne Mastenbroek

Nice section!

Damn, that's quick. I thought it would take longer because it's mainly known for it's section.

I don't know any other double-house projects with jumping separating walls. Coming to think of it, I wonder how the sound insulation and the structure works?

Peter Märkli, La Congiunta

a-f, will you post a plan for me?

I just became familiar with Peter Märkli a few years ago. Was he really well known in the nineties?

I think la Congiunta (from '92) was his breakthrough project, but has he ever been really well known?

I don't know that he's necessarily well-known, but he has a very strong following, from what I can gather. His work has just been featured in a number of new publications, and he recently retired as Chair at the ETH Zurich, I presume to focus on his practice.

He's well-known enough that I heard of him when I lived in rural Georgia (U.S.A.)

Interesting. In retrospect, it was probably hard at the time with swiss monsters like H&dM and Zumthor making some of their best work (imo) and hugging all the attention.

Phillip Johnson's Rockefeller guest house in NYC. Got acquainted with this gem just recently through a NYT article. Got recently restored if I remember correctly.

Very Mies.

Very Mies.

Is that plan from an El Croquis?

Seems so. I just snatched it from google to be honest. But yeah, the architect is El Croquis worthy.

Portugese? Spanish?

Looks like a museum.

it s in the UK, and is a museum.

David Chipperfield's Hepworth Wakefield

Did he say "it's sprezzatura"?

The neighbour (from "El hombre de al lado"):

I wouldn't even know where to start with this one.

Yeah, I feel a bit bad about this one. The section is really what is significant in this project. Anyway, start here:

On the left: an unbuilt project by the same architect.

No guesses? Ok, this is the section:

Okay, the last hint did it, I recognize that. The Tanikawa House by Kazuo Shinohara. I've actually been meaning to learn more about him.

a-f, will you please post a plan for me?

Actually, a-f, I just realized I asked you to do that above. Will someone other than a-f please post a plan for me.

cool! makes me realize how little I know about Japanese architecture

Shinohara is amazing. Luckily there are many publications of his work nowadays in comparison to when I first heard of him. 

This is the earth floor:

Interview with the client, Shuntarō Tanikawa.

hint #1 clarification: related as in - the building I posted represents the same culture as the previous entry

hint #2: it is located in Italy

I knew I had seen it somewhere, but couldn't quite place it till the last hint. The Japan Pavilion at the Giardini at Venice by Yoshizaka Takamasa. The drawings are quite more compelling than the building itself, IMO.

ok, it's a late nineties project, located in Germany.

And the architects were part of a famous exhibition organized by Phillipe Johnson at MoMA.

Has indeed something Deconstruvist in it.

+cti

.

Yes they're trees, not revision clouds or craters. I should also have a more detailed plan floating around somewhere, hold on...

Not an expert on cars but the project is 4 decades younger.

It is indeed a stunning project I accidently stumbled upon... socks-studio.com, awesome website.

You can even stay there apparently.

Amazing! Going to have to look more into "tropical modernism"...

The Igualada Cemetery by Enric Miralles and Carme Pinos.

http://www.archdaily.com/37503...

very much a raumplan, I didn't get past refreshing my memory on Loos houses ...

Johnson Wax (aka SC Johnson) offices in Mijdrecht, by Maaskant van Dommelen Kroos and Senf.

That boomerang shape hovering over the reflecting pool always reminds me of Niemeyer's work, though!

.

That's a terrible angle for a diving board.

apparently that's the world's very first kidney-shaped pool.
