A Puzzle for the Architect Types
-
Yay!
You learn something new every day- I had never put 2 and 2 together before and realised that both "Kaufman Houses" were for the same "Kaufman". Lucky, lucky b@stard. I'm glad his roofs leaked! 
-
OK, another one. Clue: the architect is known almost only for a single very famous and influential building.
-
Jorn Utzon, Bagsvaerd Church. I have no idea about the one Pilou posted.

Neither did I - but Jeff's mention of FLW sparked my curiosity.

Clue int : maybe the architect who has build the more of m2 in the 20 century
-
Stinkie- v. impressive for a non-Scandinavian!
Pilou- Your clue is more baffling than helpful! Is it Vitruvius?
EDIT: upon noticing the GREEK text in the image... answers own question: NO it's not Vitruvius Jackson you fool! Was Vitruvius Greek? I don't think so... get to the back of the class!
-
Pilou,
Looking more closely I think you've been a bit sneaky- you mean the architect of the modern doorway. Is it Meier? Foster?

Vitruvius
I had written in the 20 Century!
Clue Hint it's a French guy -
Too hard for me.
I am dying to know, though! -
Jean Nouvel?
-
lol. That was my guess as well. For some reason, the words 'Nouvel', 'Aix-en-Provence' and 'Palais de Justice' are stuck in my head. However, a Google search led nowhere, so I must be waaaaaaay off. It's known to happen.
-
It can't be Portzamparc. I'm stumped.

lol. This one's far too easy, but I couldn't resist posting the image. Isn't this a beauty?
R. Neutra Kaufmann house California...The same Kaufmann of Fallingwater...Pennsylvania FLLW
-
Correct! Bit late, though. Jackson beat you to it.
-
Pilou's thing can be anything actually. There have been so many "epigons" of classical style from the Renaissance up to the 20th century (which this is in this case).

Funny things like medium fluid
There is one thing right between these 3 words propositions above! And it is not Nouvel! -
Maybe something by Fernand Pouillon?
-
The clue about having built the most square metres in the 20th century has me completely stumped. I thought that was Ingvar Kamprad (IKea).
-
Naaaaah. That's gotta be some Chinese bureaucrat.
-
Bingo! Yes that's Fernand Pouillon!
Aix-en-Provence Law School Boet & Sardou 1940 ... Egger & Pouillon 1948 -1950Sorry the site fernandpouillon.com where I found image is not yet in English, so here a google translation of the little text of the link above

At the same time he enrolled in a study this area of town planning which recognizes his inclination for the discovery of the facades by a slash and the layout of gardens, this lovely transition between the faculty and the avenue.

In the uncertainty of the extent of its intervention, we confine to show features works by Fernand Pouillon: locks, metal joinery and carpentry internal beams, working on materials, decoration, detail, and effects of perspective.
