ok I think I made enough mess...now I leave it to you guys...

Holz, yours is Casa Grossi by Giacomo Guidotti and Riccarda Guidotti. Those are some nice prefab'd slabs, some good construction pictures on the project page

and Akin, that's Corviale, the 1km housing project on the outskirts of Rome. Lots of different architects involved, but planned by Mario Fiorentino. A pretty severe way to alleviate urban crowding. I'll post in a few.

next:

yep. phu, is this a spec house in japan?

Apartment building in the woods. The entire project was designed from a 3D model that had accurate measurements of all the existing trees (and accounted for their movement during storms and high winds) so that nothing would be touched or impacted by the building.

and yes in jp

hiroshi nakamura Dancing trees,Singing birds

got it. off to you again.

Dancing trees,Singing birds - hiroshi nakamura

whoops. yeah, that was awesome.

i think the country is obvious.

sort of reminds me of kuma, any hints?

this architect would make Artemis proud...

at first I was thinking it doesn't look like a house for a hunter...

APOLLO Architects - foo house (ha)

next:

a friend just asked me what building this is:
http://app.tabblo.com/studio/stories/view/231932/

Paul - looks a lot like Legorreta + Legorreta, but after a quick browse I didn't see that specific project

that's what my friend and i both thought too, but we were also not aware of that specific building.

anyone?

phuyaké yours is the Treehouse by Bates Masi beautiful project, I found it after I discovered their re-cover house:


but let's continue Paul's quest:
http://app.tabblo.com/studio/stories/view_super/231932/i6078210/

to keep things going:

I was almost convinced it was UNStudio but I can't find it on their website nor their monograph.

crappers, i think this is dutch but not UNstudio

It is actually on the other side of the pond

hint:

No, it's not Cuba or Bolivia.

hint:
One half of the designteam created this building

ah, Johnston Marklee w/ Diego Arraigada - View House.

Paul, any luck with your mystery building? I searched some more over the weekend and couldn't find anything.

No dice

only other thing I can come up with is that it looks similar to the FCA campus at La Universidad Autónoma de Chihuahua, but again I can't find that specific building or any information on the architect. Holz where you at?

I'll post another building in a few to keep the thread going.

next, part of a larger complex, all by the same architect:

hey, i've been there!

there being the 3rd most populous city in SE...

hi guys, I've been trying to find randomized's building with no luck...so, the hints are: probably a dutch office's work in Argentina?...I looked all the way from Iguazu to the Patagonia and nothing...ufff!

Akin,
That puzzle is solved already by phuyake it was:
Diego Arraigada & Johnston Marklee - View House in Rosario, Argentina the birthplace of Che Guevara.
I discovered it through http://newarchitects.blogspot.com/

thanks randomized, I hadn't noticed it.
The blog looks very interesting.
Ok, so hands on the next one!

here's some of the other buildings in the same complex as the one I posted (holz has the location right), all by the same architect. The first one I posted is the final project he completed before his death in 1975:

i was trying to give someone else a shot, i figured this would be pretty easy, though, since a lot of /nectors have been to this flower shop...

Sigurd Lewerentz - flower kiosk at Malmö cemetery.
Just love those "low-tech" window details

no time to post, feel free to step up.

i'll throw this up in the meantime...

sorry Holz, really interesting post. It reminded me of a similar experiment executed by MVRDV.
...just...you (I whisper this) you can read the office's name at the bottom of the pics...
I'm also looking for a post to send...

ok I post another to keep this going...

hint....it is not Jean Nouvel but it is that side of the pond

ha, aw begeezus, i didn't see that. hilarious!

haha nice holz. great project tho.

Akin it does looks a lot like Nouvel's congress center in Lucerne. and just an fyi, when posting an image, after typing the url you can hit space and then width=415 to make the image fit in the page, ie:
