For the scavenger hunt, I worked with fellow Jack, Payton F-L. Our other two "Jack" friends worked with us as well, and we all brainstormed and helped rotate taking pictures. 

Clue 1

This is me snoozin on a Barcelona chair in the Knowlton Library. The designer of the Barcelona chair is Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich. I found it interesting that the chair was designed based off of the folding chairs in the ancient times. It became known to have a reputation "worthy of the kings". 

Clue 2

Here is Payton reading a Harvard Design Magazine in the Pastil Chair designed by Eero Aarino. We liked this chair right away because of its smooth, round shape and bright eye-catching color. This chair is made of fibreglass and therefore is a great outdoor chair since it can not be ruined by the weather. It can also float on water!

Clue 3

Here is a picture of Audra and I high-fiving (because it was our final picture) in front of the Wexner Center, which was designed by Peter Eisenman. The large white metal grid outside of the Wexner center is supposed to represent the street grids of campus and Columbus. I thought that was both extremely interestingly and probably something few people actually know.

Clue 4

This is a photo of Audra and Payton standing in front of the Science and Engineering Library. This library was designed by Phillip Johnson. I was surprised this was a building that had one of our "clues" attached to it, but once I noticed the seemingly sky-high arches and over all open walkway appeal, I now have greater appreciation for the SEL. The description of Johnson's work in New York city match the height and enormousness of these arches. 

 Clue 5

Here is Payton touching the very top of the Thompson Library! This building was a design by Acock & Associates. The library was built in three phases and the goal of the designers was to combine modern, Second Italian Renaissance revival and stacked level design. It took only three years to renovate but 30 to originally build.
