My team was composed of me and:

Clue 01:
There are several places on OSU campus where you can find the Barcelona Chair. Take a picture of one of your team members sitting  in the chair, but still compose a good picture showing both you and the chair. Also note the name of the designer and something interesting about the chair or the designer in your comments.

Barcelona Chair was designed by Ludwig Mies Van der Rohe. For a short time in the 1930s Ludwig was an instructor at the school of design in Germany, the Bauhaus.

Clue 02:

Find the Knowlton School of Architecture’s Library and explore the space noting the various chairs from design’s history. Pick a chair that you find interesting (not the Barcelona chair) and compose a picture of you in the chair reading a design-related magazine. In the comments, tell me who the designer is, something about the chair, and what magazine you are reading.

 The Chaise Lounge "Relaxation Machine", designed by Le Corbusier in 1928. The magazine I was reading was the Manu Real Urbanism. 

Clue 03:

Take a photo of one of your team members in front of a building on campus that was designed by Peter Eisenman. In the comments, tell me something interesting or controversial about the construction of the building on campus.

This is in the middle of the Wexner Center. A couple yars after it was built watter would leak from the ceiling.  So it had to be fixed.   

Clue 04:

A famous architect by the name of Philip Johnson designed the Sony (originally AT&T) skyscraper in New York City which is a great example of post modernism. He’s also responsible for two buildings on the Ohio State campus. Find one a get a picture of both the building and an architectural detail that you find interesting.

I thought that the arches were pretty remarkable considering the heighth of each undividual one. 

Clue 05:

Take a photo of one of your team members in front of a building on campus that was designed by local architects Acock & Associates. In the comments, tell me something interesting or controversial about the construction of the building on campus.

This is the William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library.  This library was renovated or expanded 3 times.
