I was just looking at Snohetta in a Taschen book, so I finally, finally recognized something on this thread. It's the Lillehammer Olympic Art Museum, completed for the 1994 Olympics. I see from a google search that the photos are better on Cristoph Kapeller's website.

I only vaguely remember this from the Olympics....

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.

in an effort to keep this thread moving, I have been somewhat dishonest in gathering information on the latest clue:

Torre Insignia by Mario Peni Darqui - that picture is really misleading as to how triangulated that building really is...

Agreed! Hopefully it can be the second life of this thread. That's Gray Organschi's Jesuit community center @ Fairfield.

I somewhat recently came across that archive of affinities site SDR, one of my favorite blogs to check daily. Such a good collection of obscure oddities and lesser known architectural projects.

and 207, that's Breuer's St. Johns Abbey, strangely difficult to recognize without seeing the bell tower.

The next, a similar form:

It's an impressive structure, a couple more images of it:




Located in northern switzerland. Architect has been fairly prolific over the last 50 years. Here's some more of his work:

btw, it is a museum in japan and it is shaped like a wooden bridge because, if I understood this correctly, it is a museum of wooden bridges...
