who wants to be an architecture millionaire?

hanimal
question 1

for $1000

who can give me the name of:
1. the project
2. the architect(s)
3. the year it was designed

keep in mind that this is a "very well known" architect(s) - not some local hero.


bonus: can anyone elaborate on the significant(s) of this project?

I think it would be more fun if this was like an ink blot test.

It's a fist breaking through a brick wall.

ah that was too easy. congratulations to blank. in addition to your bonus blank, it was also never built - which is too bad. would've love to see how "transparent" it could've been with freestanding brick walls.

now moving on
question 2 for $2000 - and yes, i have nothing to do right now.
Well, since we are on this "brick" theme, please name the architect that represents and/or associates with the following:

• Between Silence and Light
• The Unmeasurable and the Measurable
• That which is has always been.
• Order is.
• The Nature of Material.

and for the bonus - which i know will give it away - he once asked a brick what it wanted to be. what was the brick's reply?

silence, measurable, order, and nature of material? graves? you're kidding right? btw, what's with you and graves anyway?

oh well, someone's going to get it when they here in the morning.

sounds like you haven't "score" in a while. and sorry, i hope you know it's only going to get "harder" dude.

btw. i meant to say that A's answer is correct, but the bonus is wrong.

i will wait for the bonus then we will move on - en la manana.

NIAM.

I think the question was:
'What do you like brick?'

And the brick said:
'I like an arch.'

I have one too:

- Revolutionized the design and building process.
- Born in a suburb of Memphis.
- 'Came in Peace'
- Became well known for his distinct style and unorthodox approach.

No bonus this time.

Good luck

no man. he was the conceptual power establishing bauhaus. when his better connected comrades like gropious and mies got jobs in usa he briefly went to japan and than to turkey, where he did a lot of government buildings and wrote the cirriculum in one of the architecture schools which they still use. he symbolicly revolutionized the use of glass.a very important architect in regards to bauhaus.
died and buried in edirne,turkey.
