Menil Collection - Renzo Piano
The Menil Collection opened in 1986 in Houston, TX.

In the small town of Ibaraki, 25km outside of Osaka, Japan, stands one of Tadao Ando’s signature architectural works, the Church of the Light. The Church of the Light embraces Ando’s philosophical framework between nature and architecture through the way in which light can define and create new spatial perceptions equally, if not more so, as that of his concrete structures.

I've pushed this blog till June
Because I’m going through applications soon and I’m trying to gather info from various sources- books, internet, notes, photos, drawings, etc - which takes a lot of time so bear with us!
As you can see, I’m not starting this blog till May because I need to queue a lot of work to keep this blog running constantly. I need to have months of posts queued before I start because I don’t want to take any hiatus on this blog.
In the mean time send me some buildings you want to see!
archisextures asked: Hi I'm not sure how it works, but I'm a first year and I was assigned the Gerrit Rietveld Schroder House for my assignment. Needless to say, I think it's one of those iconic buildings that has to be on the list. Cheers!
scottnormand asked: I think It's kind of unfair that you have to do all of the work, but here we go: Bruder Klaus Field Chapel, Farnsworth house, Slow House, Old Market Square Cube Stage by 5468796 Winnipeg, Warming huts competition at the forks in Winnipeg.
i added the submit option so go ahead :)
