----------------------------Original message---------------------------- ------------------ Thank you Candida, Robin, Jane, Dan, Hans, Paulo, Roberto ... Once againg the people on these lists have let me - or rather one of our patrons - benefit from your knowledge=21 The lists make working in a library even more exciting=21 I thought perhaps some of you would be interested in a short summary of the suggestions I received? (For those who do not remember: the query was about architecture designed with a two dimensional work of art as the starting point). These are some of the suggestions we have received: 1. Coop Himmelblau - their work often start with a spontaneous two dimensional drawing 2. The influence of Piet Mondrian's paintings on Rietveld (Schr=F6der House) and other modernists 3. Peter Eisenman 4. Will Alsop - who uses his own paintings to illustrate concepts 5. Tatlin and other earlier Soviet architects 6. Catherine Feff who recreated the Stadtschloss in Berlin with a full scale painting 7. Kurt Scwitter's Merz Haus (most interesting, as our patron has chosen a Schwitter's painting for her project=21) 8. The book =22Cubist architecture=22 9. Emilio Terry and the surrealists 10. Frank Gehry - in several connections and 11. Vitruvius - and the way he was inspired by his kids' drawings Thank you once more. I am so impressed, and have learnt som much=21=21 Greetings from Norway, - still without snow=21 Ms. Kjersti Lie Research librarian/architect The NTNU Library Faculty Library of Arch./Civ.eng./Math.sci.
