We headed to the Wexner Center first to find the Barcelona Chair, and on the way we used a smart phone to figure out the other clues. We then just went to each building and took our pictures. We found it easier just to stick together as a group. 


CLUE 1:
The Barcelona Chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe. Something that I found interesting about the chair is that it was designed for the Spanish Royalty to oversee the opening ceremonies of the exhibition.

CLUE 2:
The designer is Le Curbusier. He called the chair 'rest machine' and it was the only one which he worked on personally. I am reading The Wallpaper 'Next Generation.'

CLUE 3:
The Wexner Center was the first major public building to be designed by Eisenman.

CLUE 4:
Johnson uses brick in an inventive and layered manner that gives the buildings character, while allowing them to blend particularly well with other brick faced buildings.

CLUE 5:
The design team for the original building was selected in 1910 through an architectural competition.
