in that case ill keep it rolling, glad this thread is going again:

funny, you'd think by googling architect inverted frustrum glass that would be one of the first images...

I'm at a loss for words unable and unsure where to begin. But that form and the material.. inspires me. The landscape looks american but the structure (minus the connection between the stair and inverted conical shape) looks swiss maybe austrian

that's funny, i thought it was scandinavian.

I love the materials on this one, such a sucker for burnt timber.



And the view from the interior, showing a bit of the building's function:



And you'll see where in Scandinavia if you look at his embassy building in DC, which was on this thread before.

doy, i thought this was wingardh's muritzeum. yes, charring wood is uber sexy.

no cheating:

phuyake - that second image you posted was fantastic...very interesting project...

holz - your post is a whole different type of sexy...more like bauhaus sexy...

because it's holz I assume all his entries are swiss or german so I'm going to start there. But it does look familiar - I remember looking at it before trying to figure out if the images were of the same building

nice. it's definitely schweizer architektur.

and they've got some awesome 'holz' projects, as well

*cough* - surprisingly rough for switzerland...

whoops, surprisingly rough because it's swiss architects working in AT...

phuyaké, that's brilliant!

2 names, one translates to honey...

Who would've thought there are that many architects named "hönig"...

major brain fart on my part. i was thinking honey in italian (not german) which is miele... which is kinda close. anyway, that should be enough of a clue.

btw, i have a ridiculously awesome album called hönigpumpe

I can't believe I didn't get this sooner, I knew I had seen this before - Meili Peter, House #5. That's a pretty impressive complex, some blocks by Tesar, Märkli, Diener & Diener, Dudler etc. Did you ever get the Meili Peter monograph holz? Flipped through it at a bookstore, it's massive, but not in my budget.

Next, might be tricky, but I think this house is phenomenal. Architect's name also has a loose "honey" relation:

i picked it up used via addall for like $35, couldn't pass it up. it's in decent condition, no remainder - so that works for me.

i've seen this next one. swiss, i think.

Is it Michele Arnaboldi?

not Arnaboldi, but they are Swiss, Locarno tp be exact. Husband and wife team.

geez, Michele Arnaboldi had some ridiculously sick work.

Really nice. I've seen the Katz house before, wasn't in the running for a Mies award a few years back?

The architects of the house in play share a name with the sound a bee makes.

Wow ... good one;
buzzi e buzzi architetti - casa Muller Hallauer

Off to class; someone else can go;

Hopefully I do this correctly and it's not too obvious; and apologizes if it's already been posted (I have only gone through 20 or so pages so far.)

Yikes . . . that didn't work at all.

Someone else can go . . . while I figure this out.

The code for image posting is grayed below the text box, but it's: {img}http://www.image.com/image.jpg{/img} with [ ] in place of { }. If your image is wider then about 418 pixels, you can resize it by adding a space after the image url and putting width=418 so that: {img}http://www.image.com/image.jpg width=418{/img}

Ugh ... strike two; seriously

yeah it can be a pain, there' a chance that wherever the image is being hosted from won't let you hotlink. another tip; for some reason the preview doesn't directly work the first time on threads that have multiple pages, but copy your text, and when the first blank preview comes up, if you paste and hit preview again it will show what your post will look like.

Thanks; another image:

And now the giveaway:

Ugghhhh, those windows are definitely East German/Saxon. Probably built after 1700 (or at least renovated.)

Yes, just north of Dresden.

nice entry de A. - i am still trying to figure out the perspective on your second image...are you looking up!? very interesting...

The second image is looking across between a wall and a suspended block;







The project is just north of Dresden, but the architects are a husband/wife team from Spain.

Judging by the red tile roof, the clay came from the river Saale.

But, that variety of red clay only comes from limestone rich areas. So, looking for a an older city just on below the foothills preferably in a floodplain.

The architects were featured in El Croquis in 2008.

Kunstmuseum Moritzburg, Salle, Germany.

From the Thirty Years War!

Büro Nieto Sobejamo Arquitectos Madrid

Get this man a Bitburger . . . job well done.

that would be robby stern's project for the museum of african arts in nyc.

to keep things moving:

I'm thinking USA; mid-west or north-west? Mid-century? Any hints?

norman jaffe - perlbinder house, Hamptons, NY - 1970s.

got it. the renovation of the house was profiled in the times a few years back.

alright - to keep things moving:

I have no idea

need a hint? Northeast USA - before 1980....

This is downtown Boston; High street ... ugh; this is going to bug me.
