Geez -- are those bricks glued together ? And did a robot actually place them in that pattern ? Wild. . .
I had an idea about a dozen years ago to lay bricks with a transparent or translucent "mortar." Then about six years ago I visited a display of student work at the CCA (California College of Art, formerly the CCAC) and there was a young lady's model of the same thing. Humbling. . .
It's not so easy... this guy is underrepresented on the internet and in publications in general, but his projects are beautiful, and I thought it would be nice to share. The country is: Belgium.
i really like what i see so far...no way there is a plan floating around the internet somewhere? curious about that space, which seems to be underground!? the scale seems misleading!!! i love that concrete!
The "New Texturalists" (with H & de M perhaps at the beginning of the line?) are having so much fun -- and getting the jobs to carry it out. Can't wait for more.
i will have to find more about mr. lampens...i did like that church...a-f...what was the name of the church!? any web resource on mr. lampens or the church!?
Sorry simples, forgot to mention that the project is a chapel in Kerselare. There's very little to be found about Lampens, but according to archipel there are plans of making a monograph of his work. It's about time - the guy is 81!
the original images were for house #22 but yes the architect was brian mckay lyons.
I've been a big fan of him and his work since he lectured at Auburn while I was there. He also held a visiting teaching gig there for a quarter. A real down to earth guy.
His approach to building was revolutionary to me as an undergrad. His basic premise was to utilize local artizans and trades people in what they knew best.. ie in this part of Canada "shrink wrapping" a building using traditional traditional building methods with such materials as wood siding. He would take the knowledge of the builders and detail his buildings accordingly. Granted it wasn't always "wood shake siding" but his design goals worked hand in hand with the trades skill set.
oops - didn't scroll up far enough to realize I was replying to the hint and not the question.
sorry
feel free to disregard my image for not following the rules
Name that Architect and Building!!!
This guy was associated with Schindler, Neutra and Gregory Ain, and ended up in Raleigh, by way of Austin.
I like the plan. . .
. . .and these two interior photos, taken from the entry as indicated on the plan.
Harwell Hamilton Harris?
Yay ! Since it's past your bedtime, I'll name the building: Birtcher residence, 1941-42. It's my age. . .

Bearth & Deplazes - Gantenbein Winery, Fläsch
... if I just could paste an imagelink of that robot bricklayer...
holy brick...that is astoningly gorgeous brick work! i want to touch it!
i am sure i wouldn't have any problems getting mason workers in detroit to build something like that!
Hats off if you know this one:

a-f...looks like breuer
yeah, looks like
A combination church/bus shelter -- a new suburban type ? Japanese ? No.
a-f...any further hints???...brutalist/modern church...the landscaping feels american to me...i am thinking NE usa...60's...
Is that a cross or part of the overhanging tree in the upper right corner?
It's not so easy... this guy is underrepresented on the internet and in publications in general, but his projects are beautiful, and I thought it would be nice to share. The country is: Belgium.
yeah...NE USA...belgium...close enough!!!!
i really like what i see so far...no way there is a plan floating around the internet somewhere? curious about that space, which seems to be underground!? the scale seems misleading!!! i love that concrete!
is that.... carpet?
Yes, carpet, but that has to be a later addition. I'm really trawling the internet for images, here's one more:
RENAAT BRAEM?
OR PAUL FELIX. MY BELGIAN IS POUBELLE
oh, and the brick facade was developed w/ Gramazio & Kohler
just another reason i'd like to be @ eth about now
Huh. No indication at all of what keeps those marvelously-positioned bricks in place. But it's a lovely result. . .
glue. seriously.
I'm good with that. Neat job.
The "New Texturalists" (with H & de M perhaps at the beginning of the line?) are having so much fun -- and getting the jobs to carry it out. Can't wait for more.
Juliaan Lampens
somebody else post!
i will have to find more about mr. lampens...i did like that church...a-f...what was the name of the church!? any web resource on mr. lampens or the church!?
really changing the pace (and i hope i don't kill the thread)
A CLIENT sent us the following image as a source of inspiration - "this is what she is looking for"...what's wrong with this people...sigh...
anyone care to name the building and architect?!
villa capra, palladio
that's some serious inspiration, simples... maybe you should introduce her to thomas jefferson...
Sorry simples, forgot to mention that the project is a chapel in Kerselare. There's very little to be found about Lampens, but according to archipel there are plans of making a monograph of his work. It's about time - the guy is 81!
john cline...i think palladio will fit great in suburban detroit...
you are up!
a-f...thanks for the link..i am drooling over the concrete in those images right now!!!!
That's a major roof scupper ! The missing first step shows up in the last photo, lower left. Photo #3 could almost be a really nice workshop. . .
are these 2 houses built by the same architect?! canada!?
they are the same house
yes canada (eastern)
sketch site plan
another project by the same architect..
this is killing me...i've seen this before...i just can't find specific info on it...
ps, i like the rock in the second building...literally bringing nature in...supports that link...
Brian MacKay-Lyons
Howard House
brian mackay lyons...that's it...i saw a special on CBC on his houses and his "ghost" workshop/program...couldn't come up with the name...
Wow - at last its my turn I've been waiting for years.
Ok - no cheating with the url

naw. go ahead moak. you got any other images of that project?
better fit maybe:
An homage to Schindler, perhaps. . .but where, and when. . .
R. M. Schindler
Pearl M. Mackey Apartments (1939)
mleitner got it.
RM is a bit under-rated IMO (especially here on the east coast)
