A03

My team for A03 was the Jacks: Kylie (Kylie's blog), David (David's blog), and Payton (Payton's blog). We figured out the clues by recalling the tour we got in class a few weeks ago and looking up what we didn't know on Kylie's phone. We walked together to find the clues, and split up into teams when taking the pictures. Kylie took most of the pictures, while Payton, David and I remembered who designed what buildings. We all discussed how to make the pictures into a good composition since none of us are into photography very much. We went to Knowlton first, and snapped a picture of the Science and Engineering library along the way. After that, we went to Thompson, and lastly, the Wexner.



Clue 01: We found this Barcelona chair at the Knowlton architecture building.

The Barcelona chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe and his partner, Lilly Reich. The design is misattributed frequently as Mies' work alone. (always forgetting the woman, tsk tsk tsk.)
The design was inspired by the thrones of Pharoahs and Romans. I found this info here: http://www.modernfurnitureclassics.com/index.php/main_page/editorial/title/Title%2013

Clue 02:
We found this sweet looking chair in Knowlton.

That's me reading Harvard Design Magazine. This is the Pastil chair designed by Eero Aarnio. The chair is made of fiberglass and won the American Industrial Award in 1968. (http://www.eero-aarnio.com/24/Objects/Pastil_Chair.htm)

Clue 03:
The Wexner Center for the Arts was designed by Peter Eisenman. It was his first major public building.

The brick towers on the outside were designed to commemorate the Armory building, which had burnt down in 1958 where the Wexner sits now. (http://www.search.com/reference/Wexner_Center_for_the_Arts)

Clue 04:
The Science and Engineering Library was designed by Philip Johnson.

The arches are extremely interesting. I think they emphasize the height of the building and invite people to walk through them.

Clue 05:
The Thompson Library was designed by Acock & Associates.

The renovation of the library cost $109 million dollars and opened in August 2009. (http://www.wosu.org/blogs/arts/renovated-osu-library-to-open/)
