Hunting Down Design

The Barcelona Chair was designed by Mis van de Rohe.  The chair's frame was initially suppose to be bolted together but stainless steal was used instead and this allowed for the metal to be formed without seams.  

Gerrit Rietveld designed the Red and Blue Chair.  In 1918, after starting his own furniture factory, he changed the colors of the chair after being influenced by the De Stijl movement.

Peter Eisenman was the designer of the Wexner Center.  The double passageway represents the Columbus street grid.

Philip Johnson designed the Math Tower.

The William Oxley Thompson Memoral Library was renovated by Acock and Associates.  The renovation included getting rid of hazardous materials and also expanding the 1977 edition of the library.

Our group prepared for the scavenger hunt by checking out the internet first to answer the clues that we did not know.  After we found the answers we left Hopkins, and traveled as a group to each site and took each other's pictures.  The additional research needed for interesting facts about the designs were finished individually on our own time.
