Jul 19, 08 2:58 pm  · 
 · 

nope...sorry. Thought the yanks would be throwing out guesses. How many architects are doing modern work in middle America?

Jul 19, 08 3:06 pm  ·

looks like it could be vince james, too.

...and watch the middle america disses, techno! there's still some life out here!

holz, fret not you've managed to name at least 20% of the architects and buildings here - I wouldn't call it ignorance rather select knowledge.

guys let me know when you need a hint, clue or bone

Jul 20, 08 1:28 am  ·

perhaps the specific state?

Jul 20, 08 2:59 am  ·

Is Nebraska a state? Sorry I like you only can confirm the coastal ones...I am after all just an island boy

Jul 20, 08 4:43 am  · 
 · 

if you guys can't do better than that with non-coastal architects, maybe i'm back in this game!

She's lovely, whoever she is. I wonder what the wood is , and how it will be cared for over time. . .

Jul 20, 08 9:17 pm  ·

if it's nebraska, i'd guess randy brown, but it's not as tough as his stuff usually is.

Jul 20, 08 9:19 pm  ·

Jul 20, 08 10:13 pm  ·

Phu, i'm gonna guess David Chipperfield but I'm probably wrong, the rear elevation is not his usual style.

The building is pretty restrained compared to the architect's other work. The firm is fairly prolific and has a lot of built work.

The facade is made of thin layers of alabaster slab sandwiched between three plates of glass; some interior goodness and details:

also, there's no intermediate supports for that facade wall; it extends 18.5 m at it's furthest point on a system of spring loaded tension cables that are regulated by a computer to account for expansion/contraction. Pretty intense.
