seconded (even though the EBV project was pretty intense)

thrice what techno said, seconded what holz said.

quattrice.

and just a reminder, here is a-f's post from the bottom of page 7:



not sure what it is. it looks like Chicago's Lakepoint Tower had babies:

Chubby babies, but they are in Europe...

ap...lakepointe tower came to mind, so i googled for mies, and then George Schipporeit and John Heinrick in europe...didn't find anything...it feels french to me...

nope... this guy is quite famous, member of both CIAM and Team X.

all i can see is astor place in nyc.

ahahhahhahahahaha. that's mean phuyaka. these triplets seem reasonably elegant from the image. that gwathmey seigel thing at astor place is a travesty!

yeah that is a bit below the belt, but i think the astor building has permanently ruined my ability to appreciate curvy glass buildings.

still no clue on yours, a-f

Well, I'm not going to give any more clues, and it's past my bedtime over here, so good luck! MEdit is going to tell you who the architect is tomorrow morning (clue)

Jose A. Coderch - the trade buildings (1-4), Barcelona

yes

i had to make up for my astor place comment.

next:

no one yet? here's a couple shots of the interior, including one of the architect and his wife:





hey archinect, how come this thread still doesn't have a red dot?

is that bruce goff? It has that Talesin vibe to it

looks like a very comfy living room.

good guess, but nope. It's interesting that it has that Taliesin feel to it, because most of his other projects don't. He's most well known for his built work in NYC, but also has a lot of smaller residential projects (like this one) down south

do i see a 90degree-corner-door-panel on the first interior shot?!

Albert Ledner, New Orleans home, via

yes you do simples.

good call AP, i figured it'd be someone who saw the NYT article. really made me happy to see he was able to restore it... let's hope he can do the same to his studio annex:



check the glass floats between stairs (you can see the waterline from Katrina):


you're up AP

This a long shot but judging on the interior and the faun roof line I am guessing Craig Ellwood. However the glass facade looks far too pixelated to belong to his ouevre

not Ellwood, although they would be about the same age if Ellwood were alive today.

this architect worked primarily/exclusively in the Southeast, completing some of his best works in South Florida.

Albert Browning Parker. Can't name the commission, so I'll forfeit a turn.

Oh -- it's his own residence. The gloriette on the roof is quite swank. . .

D'oh ! It's Alfred. I'm done. I got the answer without looking at the book -- but it's been a while.

nice! how did you come across the answer SDR?

either way, your turn.

Thanks. I've had his 1965 book "You and Architecture" for a long time. The photos there show a bench on stone blocks surrounding that fireplace. Where are your pics from ?

Another oldie:

sdr...any additional, overall images?

There are virtually no exterior images. Julius Shulman photos. Residence, total enclosed space 12' x 18.' 1946.

I lied:

Guess this one should be in "Small Projects". . .

Crap -- wish we had editing. . .

ah the little tag mess up sort of gave it away. it's a shame Drake had passed so young (and amazing what he accomplished by the age of 35). I wonder what he could have gone on to do.

Yes. This little house in LA (certainly informed by Wright, and others) turns its back to the street and is surrounded on three sides by treed hillsides. A tiny oasis. . . Wish I could see a plan. I have no idea where the bathroom fits into the scheme.

Well, I propose phuyaka get a turn, as his was the first response. Unless there's another precedent in this situation. Thanks for the reply.

SDR I'll give you another building since I cheated, plus it was a really good choice and I want to see what you bring up next.

You're very kind. As AP led us into a historical detour (?) I'll continue it. This will be easy, I expect.



Still hoping to hear more about Mr Parker.

ah crap, i've seen the documentary on this twice...

You know the story, then. . .

Is it the Ise Shinto shrine?

You got it, Philarch. It's the one that is rebuilt in the adjacent site, every twenty years.

Your go.

Sweet. Got the easy one finally. I want to be there for their next rebuilding in 2013, although I'm not sure if it is accessible to the general public. Somewhat obscure, but has been in some publications and I visited it a while back.

Ise, i should've know that! and yes, i know the story, its a gorgeous tradition.

The reconstruction prior to the 1956 MoMA book on Japanese architecture reported that the next would have to be done with imported hinoki wood. I wonder now what has been done with the discarded timber from each previous reconstruction. . .

Slade - Dalki Theme Park and Shop, south korea.

I applied there about a year ago... of course, no response.

Hmmm...nice. By any chance, you know the literal translation from the Korean name?

was that formerly cho slade?

Oh, I thought it was still cho slade. But now that I look it up, it looks like it is just slade now.

slade is run by james + hayes slade, if that's what you're asking? did they used to be something different?

also i think their website should be a template for other architect's: simple, thorough, and really easy to navigate. I'll post another building in a minute.

ah i guess you're right. under their publications section a few of the older ones show them as "cho slade" I wonder why the name change?
