oh, now i know. josef kleihues' contemporary art museum in chicago. i actually figured it out with the second image, but the third clinched it.

some ungers connections there, anyway...

i remember the first time i visited this building, standing on the second floor and looking up and down, realizing that the reveals at the ceiling, the window frames, the stone joints, and the control joints from front steps to the curb at the edge of the street all lined up exactly. i thought they must have shipped the contractor in from germany.

this might be a bit tougher. i will say it's not continental.

detailing at the visitor's center IS less refined than some projects, i'll agree, but that may be because not only is the building is made of recycled timber but the connections are designed so that the whole superstructure and all the wall panels can be dismantled and reused again.
