A Puzzle for the Architect Types
-
okay . .. try this one. This is from my home town.
(this is pretty famous, so it should be easy)
-
try this
-
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?

Is it something Mendini and Hollein concocted together to torture us?
Seriously, though - Mendini?
Clueless.
-
Anssi,
Is that not the Constantine Baptistery in Rome?
-
Strike horse!!! Battistero nella Basilica di S. Giovanni in Laterano Roma.
-
You can put that way, too.
-
Dizain, yes, it is the Lateran baptistry. I remember that the atmosphere was much more mysterious when I saw it than in the Google search photograph. Let's hope that it has not been overly "restored"

So then it must be the neighbouring library, also by Scharoun?
Anssi

I would've said that was way too new to be Scharoun- looks like something by Coop Himmelblau or Michael Wilford. Dizain- Is it in Berlin? We need clues!
-
My Pic didn't get much play. I guess it wasn't as easy as I thought. Here's a hint.
I see it all the time so it's second nature to me!try this one. . .it's A little more International. . .
