To encourage exploration of various architects and buildings, I will post an image of a new building on a weekly basis, so we may all play "Name that Architect and Building!!!". Sorry to be lame, but I'm sort of tired of hearing how wonderful Rem is or how everyone hates Gehry. Let's get some other guys on the table, instead of regurgitating the same thing. Anyway,
I hope this link works

A little Brian Healy story;
When I was in high school I was introduced to him by a mutual acquaintance, and he had me over for diner at his own personal beach house which happened to be in my hometown. I was sort of on the fence about architecture as the college application process started, but after hearing him speak about I was sold. I definitely credit him for inspiring me to pursue architecture. Great guy, but no response when I tried to apply with him after graduating.
you're up Lars

for him...and i've followed his work pretty closely. he was also
on a jury for the rotch competition which i was a finalist on...

...here's a competition entry from 1971, prototype for an Esso Filling Station (obviously). Curious if anyone knows the architect. Otherwise, just want more people to know the project.

sorry again. The architect did have a 1970s a+u devoted to his work, but seems to have faded into obscurity since then. Tafuri notes this work.

this thread reminds me of that movie

ok before i leave for the day I'll leave this hint since there's no takers yet:
the building and architects are located in the same city, which rhymes with Shmienna, in a country that rhymes with Baustria

sorry I was away, I'll search for a good entry.
whose this??

After trying all night to figure out the identity of Viennese building and also being side-swiped by pixel blur building, architects collape from exhaustion.
Quick, call ARUP for unprecedented structural solution!

Aug 24, 07 1:45 pm
ok i'll cave since no one got it yet.
It's Henke + Schreieck Architekten, the "Vienna Loft" apartment building. I'll have to look the date up but I believe it to be late 80's - early 90's. They're more well known for their K-47 office building in the heart of the city:

phuyaka, post another building if you don't mind.
larslarson
Aug 24, 07 1:56 pm
phuyaka..even knowing the firm's name i still can't find pics of that building...although i do remember it from a book i had on 'contemporary european architecture' that i got in 94 or so.

i know it's in brasilia...i know it's part of the congress buildings (or right next to)...in between the congress and the justice palace...so i could guess say it's niemeyer, but i'd think it's a trap...but it's in brazilia for sure (i remember seeing it in pictures)

puddles you missed my norwegian one...
no one making a bid at mine? Pity
check this....is this really built, looks like a model, really good one
supernal: I was going to guess that your image of the women on the floor was an Oliver Herring performance art piece.... until I read your caption!

shows the building in relation to a more recognizable building in brasilia
nice job simples!
techno..great find! it's tough to post an image of brasilia and not have people recognize it...i almost didn't either...
