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

I'm at a loss for words unable and unsure where to begin. But that form and the material.. inspires me. The landscape looks american but the structure (minus the connection between the stair and inverted conical shape) looks swiss maybe austrian

I love the materials on this one, such a sucker for burnt timber.

because it's holz I assume all his entries are swiss or german so I'm going to start there. But it does look familiar - I remember looking at it before trying to figure out if the images were of the same building

I can't believe I didn't get this sooner, I knew I had seen this before - Meili Peter, House #5. That's a pretty impressive complex, some blocks by Tesar, Märkli, Diener & Diener, Dudler etc. Did you ever get the Meili Peter monograph holz? Flipped through it at a bookstore, it's massive, but not in my budget.
Next, might be tricky, but I think this house is phenomenal. Architect's name also has a loose "honey" relation:

i picked it up used via addall for like $35, couldn't pass it up. it's in decent condition, no remainder - so that works for me.
i've seen this next one. swiss, i think.

The code for image posting is grayed below the text box, but it's: {img}http://www.image.com/image.jpg{/img} with [ ] in place of { }. If your image is wider then about 418 pixels, you can resize it by adding a space after the image url and putting width=418 so that: {img}http://www.image.com/image.jpg width=418{/img}

yeah it can be a pain, there' a chance that wherever the image is being hosted from won't let you hotlink. another tip; for some reason the preview doesn't directly work the first time on threads that have multiple pages, but copy your text, and when the first blank preview comes up, if you paste and hit preview again it will show what your post will look like.

Judging by the red tile roof, the clay came from the river Saale.
But, that variety of red clay only comes from limestone rich areas. So, looking for a an older city just on below the foothills preferably in a floodplain.
