Clue 01: Barcelona Chair

Designed by Miles van der Rohe. Fun Fact: Although many architects and furniture designers of the Bauhaus era were intent of providing well-designed homes and impeccably manufactured furnishings for the "common man," the Barcelona chair was an exception. It was designed for the Spanish Royalty to oversee the opening ceremonies of the exhibition and described by Time magazine as inhabiting "his sumptuous German pavillion."

 Clue 02: Knowlton Library chair-Bertoia Chair

This is me in the Bertoia/Diamond chair, designed by Harry Bertoia. Bertoia designer this chair in the 1950's while under the patronage of Hans and Florence Knoll. I was reading the magazine seen below in  the picture.

Clue 03: Wexner Center, designed by Peter Eisenman

An interesting/controversial fact about the building is that the Tower like features seen on several parts of the building are meant to replicate those on the building that stood on the spot where the Wexner Center now stands, the Armory (pictured below), which burned down in the 1950s because the resin/material used to coat the floors in one of the main rooms caught fire.

 Clue 04: Math Tower designed by Phillip Johnson

The interesting architectural feature of this building is the two arches inside the building that give it a tunnel like feel.

Clue 05: Thompson Library designed by Acock and Associates.

Something interesting about the construction of this building is that, like all buildings on the Oval, it is considered a Historic Ohio Landmark, and cannot be torn down, so the front side on the Oval had to be left the same when the interior/rest of the building was renovated recently.

Also, although it is hard to tell that is me fist pumping at the top left of the stairs/steps
