Evan, from what I understand the Venice Hospital was the big seed for the entire mat-building line of thought, but it wasn't as fractal-ish as the projects that spun off from it... Corb does use the pinwheel form in plan as an organizational tool for circulation
, and it gets 'baked into' the mat building typological DNA...

correct. never built, just like the Brick Country House project by Mies, which it so clearly refernces.

Ok, although I had to look it up, it's a plan for a Foundry in Ercolano by Aldo LORIS Rossi. Never built for what I can gather.
correct. never built, just like the Brick Country House project by Mies, which it so clearly refernces. Aldo Loris Rossi (Neapolitan) was a fantastic architect, though - and I think the main reason more people haven't heard of him is because of the overlapping name with the much more famous Aldo Rossi (Milanese).
the work is like Sant'Elia meets John Lautner, with some Iakov Chernikov spice thrown in for even more extra
there are a couple of facts about this plan related to the previous post.
US, italian architect, it's a house
Wow, didn't know this one. Apparently hasn't been published much. Renzo Piano's House for the Pritzkers.
It was published in Arch Record a couple of years ago....without the name of course.

"a friend asked him..."
Quite the friend. The building is more museum than house so not a great departure for Piano. Great building non the less.
Ok, let's keep it rolling. Promise not to spoil it this time around.
looks japanese in size
yep, the architects are not thou.
Klein Dytham?
Nope. They are both trained in the UK and are a couple too, thou. Were very prominent in the nineties, mainly because of a Library in Germany and a theater in the Netherlands.
Okay I knew it from that theatre hint. Bolles+Wilson's Suzuki House. Awesome project by the way, never knew it.
This is the project description:
A house as a large family room suspended in the city.
A house with a child’s room suspended within.
A house with two legs and a usable roof.
A house glanced by a passing Ninja.

One of my top 5.
Beautiful!
Here she goes (sorry for the low resolution):
Same project, less low-res (believe orientation is incorrect):
Double House, MVRDV + Bjarne Mastenbroek
Nice section!
Damn, that's quick. I thought it would take longer because it's mainly known for it's section.
I don't know any other double-house projects with jumping separating walls. Coming to think of it, I wonder how the sound insulation and the structure works?
Here's a diagram I found. The wikipedia article talks about hidden trusses and props:
We stay in the 90's
Peter Märkli, La Congiunta
a-f, will you post a plan for me?
I just became familiar with Peter Märkli a few years ago. Was he really well known in the nineties?
I think la Congiunta (from '92) was his breakthrough project, but has he ever been really well known?
I don't know that he's necessarily well-known, but he has a very strong following, from what I can gather. His work has just been featured in a number of new publications, and he recently retired as Chair at the ETH Zurich, I presume to focus on his practice.
He's well-known enough that I heard of him when I lived in rural Georgia (U.S.A.)
Interesting. In retrospect, it was probably hard at the time with swiss monsters like H&dM and Zumthor making some of their best work (imo) and hugging all the attention.
For jw468:
Phillip Johnson's Rockefeller guest house in NYC. Got acquainted with this gem just recently through a NYT article. Got recently restored if I remember correctly.
Very Mies.
Very Mies.
let's scale things up.
Is that plan from an El Croquis?
Seems so. I just snatched it from google to be honest. But yeah, the architect is El Croquis worthy.
Portugese? Spanish?
Looks like a museum.
it s in the UK, and is a museum.
David Chipperfield's Hepworth Wakefield
Did he say "it's sprezzatura"?
Next:
Le Corbusier's Maison Curutchet.
The neighbour (from "El hombre de al lado"):
Another villa:
I wouldn't even know where to start with this one.
Yeah, I feel a bit bad about this one. The section is really what is significant in this project. Anyway, start here:
On the left: an unbuilt project by the same architect.
No guesses? Ok, this is the section:
Okay, the last hint did it, I recognize that. The Tanikawa House by Kazuo Shinohara. I've actually been meaning to learn more about him.
a-f, will you please post a plan for me?
Actually, a-f, I just realized I asked you to do that above. Will someone other than a-f please post a plan for me.
cool! makes me realize how little I know about Japanese architecture
Shinohara is amazing. Luckily there are many publications of his work nowadays in comparison to when I first heard of him.
This is the earth floor:
Interview with the client, Shuntarō Tanikawa.
hint: kind of related to previous post.
hint #1 clarification: related as in - the building I posted represents the same culture as the previous entry
hint #2: it is located in Italy
I knew I had seen it somewhere, but couldn't quite place it till the last hint. The Japan Pavilion at the Giardini at Venice by Yoshizaka Takamasa. The drawings are quite more compelling than the building itself, IMO.
Next:
ok, it's a late nineties project, located in Germany.
And the architects were part of a famous exhibition organized by Phillipe Johnson at MoMA.
Has indeed something Deconstruvist in it.

The Ufa Cinema Center - Coop Himmelb(l)au 1993-1998

Here it goes:
Yes they're trees, not revision clouds or craters. I should also have a more detailed plan floating around somewhere, hold on...
*bump*
Maybe this helps:
Not an expert on cars but the project is 4 decades younger.
Hint:
u=o
Hint no. 2
*bump?*
a search for "Colombo modernism" turned up with Geoffrey Bawa at the top of the list, and a little more digging lead me to find that this is his own house - Number 11, 33rd Lane, Colombo, Sri Lanka.
There's an interesting story to the house - Bawa was able to gradually purchase adjoining townhomes, and over time reconfigured them into a single entity. I think that for a design that unfolded organically, the plan actually looks extremely well resolved!
It is indeed a stunning project I accidently stumbled upon... socks-studio.com, awesome website.
You can even stay there apparently.
Amazing! Going to have to look more into "tropical modernism"...

The Igualada Cemetery by Enric Miralles and Carme Pinos.

Looks kind of like a Loos but I know it can't be...darn it!
very much a raumplan, I didn't get past refreshing my memory on Loos houses ...
Haus Wittgenstein by Paul Engelmann and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Had to look for student / protégé of Adolf Loos. Tricky one...never knew Wittgenstein was into architecture, nice idea by his sister:

New one:
Johnson Wax (aka SC Johnson) offices in Mijdrecht, by Maaskant van Dommelen Kroos and Senf.
That boomerang shape hovering over the reflecting pool always reminds me of Niemeyer's work, though!

That's a terrible angle for a diving board.
apparently that's the world's very first kidney-shaped pool.
