yes, in seattle. the doerner selection is awful, there are like 2 turkish places and they both do it wrong.
too expensive, and missing half the ingredients.
i thought about sponsoring a turkish family and bringing them up here just to open up a hole in the wall that can stay open til 2 or 3. it's a shame they haven't flourished in the US. i seriously spent half of my time eating in the mensa, the other half in a kebabhaus.
yeah, there were tons of stefans, but I'm sure I know his face. I should check on facebook.
I totally feel ya on the american doener situation! there are some places in downtown LA - it's actually called 'little istanbul'! - but their kebab ain't the same. I discovered lebanese shawarma as my methadon. good stuff!
martin, do you have good doeners (komplett bitte, mit schafskaese) on the west side?
no. all they have out here is meth at best. a friend of mine is a doener addict and he's going insane out here.
i actually miss the currywurst more. berlin - that's the place.
YEAH, you got it, steven! it was a little hard to guess with this perspective and the night shot, but maybe the hint also helped: berliners call their tv tower 'Telespargel' which means 'tele-asparagus'.
SW that is sexy! I take it that its a church/chapel with a horizontal footprint. I couldn't make a sensible guess but I would think middle America or Belgium
"The unusual shape of the roof is a response to Tokyo's stringent sun shade regulations that required the new building to avoid casting shadow on the nearby Akasaka Imperial Grounds and the Takahashi Memorial Park for no more than two hours per day and to a depth of only ten meters."
the William Berger synagogue is directly across the street from the office that my girlfriend works at (in Chinatown). We've always marveled at the oddness of the exterior, but had no idea who the architect was, and haven't tried to get inside, yet.
well done holz.. stumbled across it while searching for another embassy. and interesting project... that shadow restriction must have been fun to work with.
AP I've walked by it so many times but never actually been in, after seeing those interior pictures I think i'll give it a shot sometime soon.. seems like a fairly accessible building (or not?)
Why is it, do you suppose, that the word "library" is no longer good enough to describe the place of information storage and availability ? This choice of terminology hints ominously -- disrespectfully ? -- that the death of the book is approaching. . .
holz...i am going to guess, BIBLIOTHÈQUE MULTIMÉDI@ in Créteil, France...however, after spending time i promised not to spend looking for the architect, no one wants to take credit...
Name that Architect and Building!!!
in september 2004. snap, that's three years already. good times.
ohne zwiebeln, bitte!
oh, i worked with a guy that went there, but i think he graduated the following semester or two.
what's the name? i graduated 2005
stefan abe
was that in the US? are you in seattle, holz.box? how's the doener consortium up there?
no, in DE.

sounds very familiar - but then there were so many stefans i could be wrong.
i'd imagine so. no biggie, i was just wondering where he ended up.

okay, nother one (martin and holz.box are excluded, sorry boys):
oooh oooh ooh! i know i know!
actually, the last week my recall has been retarded and i had to struggle w/ finding a decent posting that martin got in like 2 minutes.
:) I knew you'd recognize this, and martin's comment actually inspired me to pick the 'broadcast vegetable' (hint hint).
it's gotta be the berlin fernsehturm, right? or it's so close that i can't tell the difference.
visible over the shoulder of this behrens building (a favorite) i referenced in an earlier post:
YEAH, you got it, steven! it was a little hard to guess with this perspective and the night shot, but maybe the hint also helped: berliners call their tv tower 'Telespargel' which means 'tele-asparagus'.
read this funny short anecdote about the berliner fernsehturm and 'the pope's revenge' on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernsehturm#The_.22Pope.27s_Revenge.22.
damn. i forget how many iconic projects there are in berlin (at least to berliners)
siegessäule
is that you?
what?
no, that's otto sander as cassiel in a scene from win wender's der himmer ueber berlin. lots of amazing shots of berlin in that film.
Cousins Stefan and Anna in front of (now quondam) monument, Museum Insel, Berlin, circa 1943.
bringin sexy back.
SW that is sexy! I take it that its a church/chapel with a horizontal footprint. I couldn't make a sensible guess but I would think middle America or Belgium
ah i know this one... William Berger - synagogue for the arts, nyc
yessirreebob.
nice project.
hard to mistake it from the outside when walking by
next.. an interesting project i came across a while back:
additionally:
i have no idea what that is, but that's an interesting diagram.
fairly straight forward, right? diagram above derived from this:
...and then to this:
anyone? I'll give a hint.. it's an embassy eh?
I got nothing but carpal tunnel from endless google searches. Where IS this?
canadian embassy, tokyo.
moriyama + teshima

i knew it was japan from the aerial, and when you mentioned embassy, eh... pretty much narrowed it down.
next up:
recently completed (may or june) mixed media center
Why is it, do you suppose, that the word "library" is no longer good enough to describe the place of information storage and availability ? This choice of terminology hints ominously -- disrespectfully ? -- that the death of the book is approaching. . .
library fits, i was just trying to mix it up.
the death of the book is nigh. why read beowolf when you can watch the cool cgi-orgasm version in 1/20th the time?
newspapers? ha, i just want to watch survivor and 'merkin idol
Oh I wasn't blaming you; I assume that the name of this lovely new facility will very likely be exactly as you stated it.
I like those ribbony glazed walls. I see that "decoration" is creeping back into architecture: there's a lot going on in that one space !
Somewhat eclectic interior...
here's a hint:
Où est la bibliothèque?
yes, it's a project in montreal, right?
dammit i can't remember the name of it or the architect!!! it was in arch record some time ago!
not in quebec
yeah, i'm wrong. it's not the bibliothque national in quebec.
I spent quite some time trying to figure this one out. I would say it's either in the Alsace or Switzerland - but that's only a guess.
Beat me with this one. (I did see a lot of nice stuff on the way though.)
arrondissement of Créteil

holz...i am going to guess, BIBLIOTHÈQUE MULTIMÉDI@ in Créteil, France...however, after spending time i promised not to spend looking for the architect, no one wants to take credit...
and, i don't want this thread to die...
ha...spent even more time:
La Médiathèque d'Alfortville
by Charon-Rampillon..
correct!? if anyone wants to post the next building go ahead...if not, i will post something later on...
holz...this was a toughie...the design architects for the a Médiathèque d'Alfortville was deso-architecture (DEFRAIN-SOUQUET)...
