I've really been loving the all white approach to exterior design lately. I have sort of become obsessed with some of Meier's things, so I'm just wondering what some of your favorite designs are that use white. I know all of you guys must know of some really nice projects that are obscure I'de love to see.
It's not very obscure, but it is very different from the rest of the orange and red brick buildings around it. I hated it at first, b/c it felt out of context, but now I love it.
am Kupfergraben 10 in Berlin by David Chipperfield!
Actually most of Chipperfield's work is semi off-white or some sort of monochromatic palate. And all of his work is pretty fantastic.

Knowlton School of Architecture (OSU)

I wish our Architecture building looked half as nice as that. Very Cool.
anything by alvaro siza... the man is brilliant. the galician centre of contemporary art is one of my favorites - tho more gray than white.
tunon + mansilla's auditorium in leon is also pretty fantastic.
I've heard those marble shingles the Knowlton building uses were a HUGE headache and liability.
how do you post an image on here?
Look down below the "post a response box"... it'll have directions.
