A03

My amazing team included:
Jessica Kline - http://jklinedesign200.blogspot.com/
Zachary Bergman - http://dsgnproberg.blogspot.com/

We started out by heading for the one clue we were certain of: the Barcelona Chair at the Fine Arts Library.  Once there, we all worked together to research what the other clues were referring to.  We set up a course around campus that ensured we wouldn't do any backtracking, and set off on our mission.  We all worked together to come up with various pictures that would display what we needed to show in interesting and efficient ways.

The Barcelona Chair by Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe.  Interesting fact: this chair can be bought for a MINIMUM of $5,000.

The Wexner Center for the Arts was designed by Peter Eisenman.  In his project, Eisenman designed the white scaffolding metal grid to give the building an aura of incompleteness, which adds to the interesting look of the place.

The Science and Engineerying Library designed by Philip Johnson.


The Science and Engineering Library; this picture shows the interestingly designed arches and rounded edges of the building.

I am in the Pastil Chair designed by Eero Aarino in 1967, reading DAMN 24, a magazine on contemporary culture.  Many of Aarino's designs were seen as parts of sets in science fiction films, mostly for their contemporary look. 

The Thompson Library, designed by local architects Acock & Associates.  This library holds the largest collection of books on campus, and was recently renovated, reopening in August of 2009.
