Advertisement Posted September 29, 2016 Posted September 29, 2016 Hi Dirk Van der Herten, Take a look here "Do you know this building?" Game Thread. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
mikemgb Posted September 29, 2016 Share #1702 Posted September 29, 2016 Correct! That didn't take as long as I expected! Over to you. The Canadian connection is that the statue is of George Vancouver, who charted the North West coast of the USA and Canada in the 1790s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Van der Herten Posted September 29, 2016 Share #1703 Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) Thanks, Mike. We're looking for the name of the building, but the name of the city where it is located will do as well. Welcome, dear visitor!

adan Posted October 16, 2016 Share #1713 Posted October 16, 2016 Hah! This is where I spent a semester drawing perfect lines on yellow tracing paper (before switching my major to photography - cause and effect?), and thus really do know from personal experience. S. R.

Michael Hiles Posted October 16, 2016 Share #1715 Posted October 16, 2016 Interesting. I was wondering if the was Meis or maybe Phillip Johnson. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
adan Posted October 17, 2016 Share #1716 Posted October 17, 2016 The trick to drawing perfect lines was to tilt your mechanical pencil in the direction you were dragging it along the straightedge (i.e. pencil point trailing) and then rotate the pencil between your fingertips constantly as you drew - thus wearing the tip down evenly and in effect resharpening it with the paper as you dragged it. I think it was part of the Zen of Miesian design, passed on by the instructors (most of whom were Mies' students themselves.) Anyway - next challenge: Welcome, dear visitor!
