Clue 1: Barcelona Chair:

Created by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the German Pavilion at the 1929 Barcelona Exposition. We did not need to look up where to find this chair on campus because of one of the powerpoints in class.




Clue 2: Chair in Knowlton Library

The Red and Blue chair was designed by Gerrit Rietveld. The chair was originally designed in 1918, but its color scheme of primary colors wasn't applied to it until around 1923. To find this clue we just went to the library and found a chair we liked. I am reading l'arca magazine.




Clue 3: Peter Eisenman

Peter Eisenman designed the Wexner Center. My partner Leah knew this off the top of her head so we did not need to do research. It is built on the city of Columbus's and Ohio States grid.




Clue 4: Philip Johnson

He designed the Math tower and SEL. We chose to take pictures at the tower. We looked up what building was designed by him on smart phones.


We thought the interesting part of the building was its repeating arches, which you can see in this picture below.




Clue 5: Acock and Associates

They designed the new part of Thompson Library. The library was closed  for 3 years for the $109 million dollar renovation that "attempted to blend the 1913 building with its two additions". This was found doing a Google search.
