For our project, we both took pictures of each other at each clue. I researched clue 3,4,5 and the chair I sat in for clue 2. Karyn researched clue 1 and clue 2.
Clue 1: The name of this chair is the Barcelona chair. We sat in the one at the fine arts library. Mies van der Rohe designed this chair. Karyn said she thinks its pretty comfortable, she likes it and that if she had one she would probably spend her free time in it.
Clue 2: Karyn was sitting in a chair designed by Philippe Starck called the "bubble club chair." She thought it was fancy and cute. The name of the magazine she was reading was called Designed Within Reach. The chair I was sitting in is called the UP1 Armchair designed by Gaetano Pesce. This chair was designed in Italy in 1970. The magazine I was reading while sitting in this "black blob" was called Design Within Reach.
Clue 3: The Wexner Center was Peter Eisenman's first major public building design.The OSU street grids are mismatched by about 12.25 degrees and Eisenman designed the Wexner Center to follow these grids. It reopened in 2005 after a three year renovation.

Clue 4: The Math Tower was designed in 1992. Philip Johnson used the Wexner Center as inspiration when designing this building. Johnson used bricks to help the building blend in with campus but layered them to add a little bit of flare. He also used materials that were respctful to the environment. http://www.galinsky.com/buildings/ohiomath/index.htm
Clue 5: The Thompson Library was a 27 month project that costed about $108 million. During renovation, the ceiling of the grand reading room was restored to it's original state. In order to do this, the 1960's mezzanine layer had to be craefully removed first. A whole new structure support system had to be put in since the one below was being removed. This presented quite a challenge for the crew. http://www.reeveswriting.com/portfolio/0110/OSU_Library_Renovation.pdf
