this may be too much of softball, but i think we need an easy one after many of these.

Bravo. I see you did look in the book, because the architects name correctly is Brasini, Armando. Anyway, Orhan first mentioned contradiction, so, you get close and the clues get better.

I wanna see what you're gonna post!

nice job, beefeaters. i think bunshaft was the head designer.

now admit it, did you cheat to know that natalie de blois worked on it with bunshaft? i didn't know that till i found the image.

Orhan, if you keep this up, you'll have to be sent to the prinicpal's office!

principal doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore...

Aug 22, 07 9:47 pm  ·

i know supernal knows the answer. but i am just curious how he is gonna put it out.

Aug 22, 07 9:48 pm  ·

Orhan, I'm pretty sure that's someplace in the back of Steven Holl's mind.

Aug 22, 07 9:52 pm  ·

and in the backs of many other's minds.
clue;
it ain't machine but sure is a good livin'.

this game is great. i'm so impressed whenever anyone comes up with the answer to one of these.

and i think i would take "someplace in the back of Steven Holl's mind" as a correct answer. ha.

keep it coming, techno.

Aug 23, 07 9:19 am  ·

yes, it's techno's turn.

Wait, Cris guessed "escalater in spain by elias torres" correctly. I was waiting for him to post a building.

I love this thread!

Orhan, you know you won't get in trouble for anything you choose to do around here. As long as Brad Pitt doesn't hear about it, that is.

that's correct.
Joseph D'Urso did a very similar staircase in a NYC apartment in the early 1980s.

Dang, I know this one.....and I can't think of it....so I'm going to throw out Alvaro Siza even though I'm 99.9% certain it's wrong.

Aug 23, 07 1:47 pm  ·

I know what it is because I cheated. Not Siza. It's in Uruguay if that helps. 1958-60.

phuyaka can have the credit, I just named the architect and not the building (can I have reserve 1/2 the right to post when the thread remains unresponsive for two or so days?)...

Yay Dieste is correct! Oddly enough, a Siza building was my other choice...
