A03

My team for the scavenger hunt was the Jacks: KylieAudraPayton.  we busted out of the gates running (not literally) and headed over towards knowlton because we could knock out 2 of the needed chair requirements there, but we failed to realize in time that we straight up blew by the Wexner center for arts and the Thompson library. we figured out we needed them so we had to trek all the way back, stopping at the science and engineering library on the way to take that out. To figure out the answers to the clues we called upon the information we learned during our field trip to the Wexner and knowlton libraries and what we couldnt remember from that we got from using Kylie's phone.


CLUE 01)
Here Kylie is snoozing on the Barcelona chair which was designed by  Miles van der Rhoe, the chair itself looks super classy and is very comfortable. We found this chair in the Knowlton school of Architecture's library.

CLUE 02)
Also in the Knowlton library we knocked out clue number 2 by finding another interesting (not Barcelona) chair. We chose to use the Pastil chair which was designed by Eero Aarnio and is made out of fiberglass making it fairly weather resistant and able to float. in the picture Audra is taking a gander at the Harvard Design Magazine.

CLUE 03)
This picture was taken at the cool stair looking structure outside the Wexner Center for the Arts, which has the castle-esque look to it in honor of the armory that once was there before it was built. The building was designed by Peter Eisenman. Audra and Kylie are high-fiving as this was our last stop on our hunt.

CLUE 04)
On our way to Knowlton we stopped at the Science and Engineering Library (commonly known as the SEL). we stopped because it met the criteria for clue 4, which was to find something that was designed by Philip Johnson. there are lots of arches on the exterior of the building and the use of larger arches indicates to the public where they should walk through. 

CLUE 05)
The building in the background is Thompson Library, Ohio States 109 million dollar library located at the west end of the oval. Thompson was designed by Acock and Associates. this picture shows off my great height by showing me touching the top of the building.
