Scavenger Hunt!

This is a close-up shot of the library for clue #4, but I tried to add it after the other pictures, and couldn't get it to be by the other shot of the library.

The Barcelona Chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe.    One interesting fact about the chair is that over the years of production, bovine leather replaced the ivory-colored pigskin that was used on the original chair.

The Arktek company and Alvar Aalto designed this chair, called the Paimio Armchair.  The chair was actually designed for tuberculosis patients so they could sit comfortably for long hours each day.  I am reading Modernism Magazine, the issue about Augusto Romano: Inventing the Adaptable Home.

During the design of the Wexner Center, Eisenman noticed that the street grids of the OSU campus and Columbus city  grids varied by 12.25 degrees, and different parts of the building follow each of the grids, which makes the building more unique and interesting.  The building was also the first major public building that was designed by Eisenman, who later went on to design many other buildings, including the Greater Columbus Convention Center.

I really liked how Johnson used many different arch sizes in the design of the Mathematics Tower and Science Library.   Some of the arches are really tall and skinny, and others are short and fat, with all sizes in between.  Especially in this picture, I like the way he used the different sized arches and filled the space between them with tile instead of brick, which really sets that entrance apart from the rest.

The Thompson Library has been expanded or renovated three times since it's original date of construction in 1913, and the latest renovation cost $108 million.   The library currently boasts 1,800 study seats for students to use throughout the 11 floors of the library
