Clue 1: The Barcelona Chair designed by Mies van der Rohe. It was originally designed in 1929 for the German Pavilion at the Barcelona Exposition. It is still produced today by the company Knoll to exact specifications van der Rohe.
Clue 2: This is the Eames rocker found in the Knowlton Library. It was designed by Charles and Ray Eams, has a body made of molded plastic and rocking legs that are made of wood and remind me somewhat of naval or boat themes. The magazine I am reading is called Urbanistica, and is an Italian city planning magazine.
Clue 3: Peter Eisenman designed the famous Wexner Center on campus (picture above). Something interesting is that it was Peter Eisenman's first public building, and parts of the movie Little man Tate with Jodi Foster were filmed there.
Clue 4: One of the Philip Johnson buildings on campus is the Math Tower (pictured above). We found that the doorway (also shown above) was quite interesting because it contradicted the overall curvature in the façade of the building.
Clue 5: Finally, Acock & Associates are responsible for the most recent renovation of the OSU Main Library. Something interesting about the library is that the original building was first finished in 1912, and since the building has undergone three renovations (1951, 1977, and 2009).
