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).

For some reason, the words 'Nouvel', 'Aix-en-Provence' and 'Palais de Justice' are stuck in my head
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!

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.

okay . .. try this one. This is from my home town.
(this is pretty famous, so it should be easy)

La Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista a Firenze di Giovanni Michelucci.

Didn't have time to make mine yesterday, so how about this:
-
I've no clue as to what the last three are, but I am gueessing the last one with the large shell is a church/chapel.
Anyone recognize this building?
-
Thorncrown Chapel. . .Fay Jones

This is...

Dizain, I think it is the Philharmonie in Berlin by Scharoun.
Jackson, you are absolutely right. It is a place I won't forget, saw it almost 20 years ago.
This one I find similarly evocative:
-
Anssi- St. Petri Church, Klippan, Sweden by Sigurd Lewerentz. Nice choice- it's easily one of the inspirational buildings I've visited. For anyone who wonders what all the fuss is about, this unassuming brick church manages to transcend modernism, but is so effortlessly rooted in tradition as to feel almost primeval; unlike so much contemporary architecture it defies photography (both through its subtlety and its incredibly dark interiors), but rewards visitors with an experience unlike any building I've yet experienced (though I hear Corb's Sainte-Marie de La Tourette is similarly moving).
My only vaguely in-focus interior shot; I must take my tripod the next time.
-
Hmmm... good one Anssi- I don't recognise it. Not something by Odo of Metz is it?
