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 gonna throw Rick Mather out there, totally un-investigated, because I had forgotten about his work until I saw it in the news recently and it sorta reminds me of him (and looks British).

good guess, but not quite notable as rick. the building and the firm are european, but a little south-east of the uk.

it's pretty nice phuyaka...i just wish the cortenz sort of took over
the back facade a bit..but it's nice nonetheless.

well for a hint, it's in Belgium.
And I agree Lars, I also thing it would be nice if it opened up a bit more in the back since the front is so fortified. gotta love the cortenz though:
simples you're right, it looks like it matches the front door, and I think it leads to the basement, pretty wretched.

his schools is phenomenal as well.
next:
ok... a hint, it's in switerland
I know that building, but for the life of me the architects aren't ringing a bell. I'd guess HdM but I couldn't tell you where or what!
i visited the damn thing but i can't remember who did it, but it isnt HdeM
yeah, it's an interesting little pavilion around the corner from this:
andreas fuhrimann gabrielle hächler
did that kiosk next to Zürichsee.
really nice place, great toilets.
wow, congrats. that took a lot longer than i expected.
definitely a neat little find while walking along the see towards the heidi weber pavilion.
are ppl finding this one a bit tricky? its a great building, although it hasnt received alot of press.
Thought I would toss this one in for effect....hope you don't mind:
i'm clueless p2an. the brick building appears to be dutch/northern european...sorry, that's all i've got.
i thought it was maybe canadian, but yeah, i'm stumped. any hints?
it looks kine of like the pbs building in boston by polshek..but only because
of the huge cantilevered truss like structure
its in rotterdam, or rather OVER rotterdam
