HENRI LABROUSTE
Biography
Born in Paris, Labrouste entered Collège Sainte-Barbe as a
student in 1809. He was then admitted to the second class in the
Royal School of Beaux Arts to the Lebas-Vaudoyer workshop in
1819. In 1820, he was promoted to the first class. Competing for
the Grand Prix, Labrouste took second place behind the Palais
de Justice by Guillaume-Abel Blouet in 1821. In 1823 he won the
departmental prize, and worked as a lieutenant-inspector (sous-inspecteur) under the direction of Étienne-Hippolyte
Godde during the construction of Saint-Pierre-du-Gros-Caillou.
1824 was a turning point in Labrouste's life, as he won the
competition with a design of a Supreme Court of Appeals. In
November he left Paris for Italy, visiting Turin, Milan, Lodi,
Piacenza, Parma, Modena, Bologna, Florence and Arezzo.

BAVINGER HOUSE
The Bavinger House was completed in 1955 in Norman, Oklahoma, United States. It was designed by architect Bruce Goff. Considered a significant example of organic
Year five -theTwentythe house was awarded [,architectureAward from the American Institute of Architects in 1987. The house was built over the course of five years by Nancy and Eugene Bavinger, the residents of the house, who were artists, along with the help of a few of Eugene's art students, volunteers, and local businesses. The wall of the house is a 96-foot long logarithmically curved spiral, made from 200 tons of local "ironrock" sandstone dynamited (by Eugene) from a piece of purchased farmland near Robin Hill School, a few miles away from the house and hauled back on Eugene's 48 Chevy flatbed truck. The structure was anchored by a recycled oil field drill stem that was reused to make a central mast more than 55 feet high. The house has no interior walls; instead there are a series of platforms at different heights, some with curtains that can be drawn for privacy. The ground floor is covered with pools and planted areas

Peter Eisenman
Peter Eisenman (born August 11, 1932) is an American architect. Eisenman's
professional work is often referred to as formalist, deconstructive, late avant-garde,
late or high modernist, etc. A certain fragmenting of forms visible in some of
Eisenman's projects has been identified as characteristic of an eclectic group of
architects that were (self-)labeled as deconstructivists, and who were featured in an
exhibition by the same name at the Museum of Modern Art. The heading also refers
to the storied relationship and collaborations between Peter Eisenman and post-
structuralist thinker Jacques Derrida. Peter Eisenman's writings have pursued topics
including comparative formal analyses; the emancipation and autonomization of the
discipline; and histories of Architects including: Giuseppe Terragni, Andrea Palladio,
Le Corbusier and James Stirling. While he has been referred to as a polarizing
figure, such antagonistic associations are likely prompted by Colin Rowe's 1972
criticism that the work pursues physique form of European modernism rather than the
utopian social agendas (See "Five Architects," (New York: Wittenborn, 1972)) or more
recent accusations that Eisenman's work is "post-humanist" (Perhaps because his
references to the Renaissance are 'merely' formal). While his apathy towards the
recent "green" movement is considered polarizing or "out-of-touch", this architect-
artist (with drawings held by major collections) was also an early advocate of
computer aided design. Eisenman employed fledgling innovators such as Greg Lynn
and Ingeborg Rocker as early as the 1989.[ Despite these claims of polarity and
autonomization, Eisenman has famously pursued dialogues with important cultural
figures internationally. These include his English mentor Colin Rowe, the Italian
historian Manfredo Tafuri, George Baird, Fredric Jameson,[Laurie Olin, Rosalind
Krauss and Jacques Derrida. In addition to his vast literary contributions (as editor,
curator, and writer) and professional practice, Eisenman's reputation as a critic and
professor of architecture is similarly famed

john quntin hejduk
John Quentin Hejduk (19 July 1929 – 3 July 2000), was
an American architect, artist and educator who spent
much of his life in New York City, USA. Hejduk is noted for
his use of attractive and often difficult-to-construct objects
and shapes; also for a profound interest in the
fundamental issues of shape, organization,
representation, and reciprocity.
Hejduk studied at the Cooper Union School of Art and
Architecture, the University of Cincinnati, and the Harvard
Graduate School of Design, from which he graduated with
a Masters in Architecture in 1953. He worked in several
offices in New York including that of I. M. Pei and Partners
and the office of A.M. Kinney and Associates. He
established his own practice in New York in 1965
THE GROUP NEW YORK FIVE Originally designed in 1973 for Ed Bye, in Ridgefield, Connecticut USA, for a
long time it only existed as a concept until Groningen decided to actually build
the house. Designed to place living in the context of time by means of a Wall
which symbolizes the physical transition from past to future through the
present, a transition between back and front, closed and open. The Wall, one-
and-a-half m. thick, forms the basis of the house. The entrance and living
elements literally hang from it. To reinforce this idea, a narrow gap is left
between the Wall and the elements. Hence the Wall is not directly manifest in
the interior but can only be perceived visually. It is a theoretical house, based
on the idea of the physical confrontation between space and time, elaborated
in separate elements. It is a museological manifestation of an important
architectural concept. Although it wasn't designed for this particular site, it does
enter into a dialogue with its 'everyday' surroundings.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE In 1922, the Chicago Tribune offered $100,000 in prize money for an
international architectural competition to design the most beautiful office
building in the world. With a lavish first prize of $50,000, there was a total
of 263 entries. The winning entry was a neo-Gothic skyscraper design by
architects John Mead Howells and Raymond Hood. The irony of the
competition was that these architects happened to be from New York, and
in a time when New York CIty and Chicago were in an architectural face
off this was no laughing matter. However, the winner could not be
disputed as the competition winer was selected by a panel of blind
judges. The Chicago Tribune has certainly become an icon of Chicago,
with its intricate ornamentation and spider like tracery, though many critics
originally scoffed at it for it's Gothic revivalist architecture. Here is a look
at some of the other entries for the competition. Of most significance is
the 2nd place entry submitted by Eliel Saarinen. It is considered to be one
of the most influential unbuilt buildings of the 20th century. It set the stage
for the Art Deco movement with its sleek setbacks and soaring verticality,
and is credited as one of the major influences for 333 N Michigan Avenue,
set across from the Tribune Tower on the south bank of the Chicago
River.
The following blog entries will be photographs of some of the 263
submissions for the Chicago Tribune Tower International Architectural
Competition.
