sls Posted July 10, 2015 Share #742 Posted July 10, 2015 Clue time: What is slightly unusual is that there appears to be only one person in the photo - a man on the first floor. This place is quite popular with visitors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted July 12, 2015 Share #743 Posted July 12, 2015 If you think this was an easy one, I'd hate to see your tough ones. This is one of the stone corner umbrella structures of the Taj Mahal complex, very different from the white monument that we would immediately recognize.

This is one of the stone corner umbrella structures of the Taj Mahal complex, very different from the white monument that we would immediately recognize. You're dead right. I'm saving the tricky ones for later. And you are of course correct that it is part of the Taj Mahal complex, which I understand is the most photographed building/anything in the world. Hence the difficulty getting an interesting image and one that cannot be found on Google. I did this one, I don't know if it is good or terrible.

sls Posted July 13, 2015 Share #747 Posted July 13, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) Those lines have the smell of Zaha Hadid, based here in good old London. There's an American traffic light, so a quick search of her site pointed to an art gallery in Michigan - Mr and Mrs Broad - who obviously have a lot of money. Without intending to insult anyone, it does look like something she knocked out on a Tuesday afternoon. If correct, have another go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
war Posted July 13, 2015 Share #748 Posted July 13, 2015 I thought it would take a little longer. I missed the traffic signal. Yes, the Broads have tons of it and I don't think it took ZH all of Tuesday afternoon either. Not fair, you have to post or someone else out there has to come up with something.

sls Posted July 13, 2015 Share #749 Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) It reminded me of a truly ugly building we had in London (opposite the Regents Park Mosque) called the baked bean tin, because it was circular and corrugated on the outside. It was torn down and replaced by an apartment block and now I sort of miss it. Corrugated iron (galvanised) is a very practical material and cheap for insulating - most of the houses in Reykavik are clad in it, in part due to the lack of wood. But this ZH effort is just not nice. I like her watery stuff. I had a client that fabricated her "Mesa table" - now that is truly beautiful. Can't post till tomorrow.

sls Posted July 21, 2015 Share #756 Posted July 21, 2015 It's either an observatory or an art gallery, in a big Californian town, and it's not the Getty Museum in LA, which I thought was incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sls Posted July 21, 2015 Share #758 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Yes !!!! Steven Name the building please. Curiously, the architect, Mario Botta, specialises in ugly and occasionally very ugly, but this one was really good. Since I last went they've redeveloped it, when less than 20 years old. Obviously others thought it was ugly. Edited July 21, 2015 by sls Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sls Posted July 21, 2015 Share #760 Posted July 21, 2015 Indeed, their concept is certainly less reminiscent of a high security prison. Rather than talk about the building, would someone like to name it? Even the initials will do. And we can then move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
