A03

Our team of 6's worked flawlessly together. We began our journey buckled down in the classroom trying to figure out our game plan before departing. We split up the clues between ourselves and utilized our resources as we searched for the answers to our clues using our phones and laptops. Then we created a strategy that was undoubtably the most efficient way of completing the task at hand. Following are the clues themselves in the order completed.

Clue 03

The Wexner Center was designed by Peter Eisenman. The design of the building includes a white metal grid (suggesting scaffolding) that compliments Eisenman's deconstructivist likes. Crystal, Asumi and I admire the building from afar.

Clue 05

Pictured is Kristian in front of the Thompson Library. This building was designed by Acock & Associates. The library has been renovated and expanded three times since it was originally built.

Clue 04

The Mathematics Tower is one of two buildings on campus designed by Philip Johnson. My group found the curvatures and layered brick to be very architecturally intriguing.

Clue 01

This is the infamous Barcelona Chair designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Mies began his architectural work as an apprentice of Peter Behrens.

Clue 02

Here we have Kristian lounging in the UP1 Armchair designed by Gaetano Pesce. He reads Azure magazine. This chair is simply stretched fabric over foam and rubber valuing between $1,500 to $2,000.

Mad props to Avi for the high quality photos.
