Sweet illustration. Actually, the architect is Furness and Evans -- but you're on the money. The National Bank of the Republic building (1884) was later sold to Philadelphia Clearing House, who hired Furness, Evans and Co. to alter the building (1904). It was demolished in 1953.
i recognized it slightly... had to think about where i saw it from... found it concretely by remembering only that it was a bank in philidelphia, though i should have known more about it. Sullivan worked for furness i believe, and its obvious that he was pretty heavily influenced by his work. the massing of that bank in particular is very sullivan like in my opinion, though more frivolous.
i might be off, im not as well versed with people like furness and sullivan as i should be... sad considering im surrounded by amazing sullivan projects
That looks like H.H. Richardson, but I'm not at all sure.
Regarding the National Bank of the Republic, it is Robert Venturi that made the building well known in Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture. When Sullivan worked for Furness, the office was on the same block (300 Chestnut Street) as the National Bank of the Republic (or it was the next block west).
ah someone got it. I knew it would be way too easy for you steven, was hoping the HHR look-a-like would throw people off. that building is burned into my memory for life... couldnt find a good picture of richardson memorial. i need to stop with the nola posts
geez, i tried to keep it fairly obscure. shouldn't have dropped the zumthor reference. i have no clue who built that project. looks like early 20th c. berlin/amsterdam.
It is Paul Schmitthenner, Frankona Insurance in Munich (1956).
Schmitthenner was one of the teachers at the Stuttgart School and planned the garden city in Staaken. Thereafter a somewhat mixed history read more.
Name that Architect and Building!!!

Harrod and Andry, Gibson Hall, Tulane University, 1894.

reminds me of the Eremitage in St. Petersburg (Klenze), but that isn't it, is it?
I guess it is: the Terebenev Entrance

if this doesn't work posting an image to a forum exceeds my competences. (take that off my CV)
hey martin, let me help you with this ;)
alex, thanks - did you recently change the format for entering images?
it's [ ] not { }
word up, phuyaka. martin, the light gray text below the response field helps you with the correct syntax.
did someone already guess hotel collagio's building right?
Yes, New Hermitage, Leo von Klenze.

Ökumenisches Kirchenzentrum, München
Ok... I was sitting here, hands folded, thinking: As long as holz.box doesn't see this post I'm fine... Anyone, just not holz.box
I have the feeling there's no image I can post that you don't know.
Yeah, there are a lot, actually. that beherens one? who knew.
I was looking at it, thinking I know this… who is this and figured someone else would get it.
Next up: it’s an alternative to zumthor’s opus.
and yes, that's rammed earth on the inside.
Vigilius Mountain Resort
matteo Thun & Partners, Milano
damn. have you been there?
holz.box, I'd say you know this one, but I'll post it anyway.
I haven't been to the resort but there were a lot of clues and I immediately found it.
geez, i tried to keep it fairly obscure. shouldn't have dropped the zumthor reference. i have no clue who built that project. looks like early 20th c. berlin/amsterdam.
Another hint: Munich 1956, but you are right Holz Box: train of thought from the early 20th.
eww, this building looks like a built herman munster. as if albert speer designed cute little weekend residences in the 1930s...
hmmm, if it wasn't '56 i'd say a possibility but he was serving out his time in spandau then, thankfully.
It is Paul Schmitthenner, Frankona Insurance in Munich (1956).
Schmitthenner was one of the teachers at the Stuttgart School and planned the garden city in Staaken. Thereafter a somewhat mixed history read more.
Somebody else post a new one.
correction: read more
okay, let's try an easy one on this friday afternoon:
i know that is german! but i can't remember what or who did it.
stephanie: germany is the correct destination for building and architect so far. hint: the architect is berlin-based, the building is not.
is it a kunsthalle?
nope. think of fooooooood. ;)
KARLSRUHE CAFETERIA!
