Ok, give us a hint then. We know that it is Southern California and that it is structural art, but it would save time if you would help us along.
You could look up famous present day American architects.
You could look at a more detailed map of the region around either LA or San Diego, picking one of those first for a yes or no.
It looks like my chicken coop!
Does not!!! (I bet there are more angles in the photo.)
Ephraim Owen Goldberg lives there.
Once upon a time he lived in my city.
Does he? I don't happen to know where exactly the owner lives presently.. though I know he has been planning a new house for himself, near my old house. Not sure that is still happening.
Must be interesting for E. Goldberg, given the history of neighborhood opinion.
I've taken some photos I like of the place myself, in the early days of the remod. This photo I posted from google (er, right click for attribution) is from the back of the house. Alas, my own photos which I think represent the house better are presently unscannable.
Based in part on this house and other reasons of economy, we in our neighborhood in those landuse meetings I referred to on another thread, did not knock use of chainlink. We liked both economy and venture-ism, at least those in the meetings, most of whom had their own ideas of what could be used for materials. What we came down to re zoning aspects was what I think of as performance criteria. Build to x height, max, this envelope, max, and we don't care what the material is, given safety considerations.
This house looks more staid (well, never staid) from the street, or did when I ever drove by it.
'Tis not my favourite bit of architecture from him. I agree with Dadpad, if his chicken coop is not particularly chicken proof.
And you're right -- I really don't know if he lives there now or not.
Er ... we've danced around it enough, I think. The house in question is an example of Frank Gehry's deconstructivism style, and is located in Santa Monica.
But I'm not really here. I'm busy doing homework ... so someone post the next photo.
Hope this link works. (Right click to see.)
Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao
Whatever I might posit about Gehry, mostly good, is that he plays with materials, as he did back at that house.
I'll post another, but not for a few minutes.
On review, I notice I never said it was his own house, big lapse on my part.
Elevator London underground?
Alas, I need to sleep. Back in a bit.
Hmmm. U.S. quite not New York. I don't get it, osso. Northeastern part of America?
Has it something to do with modern architecture?
Hey, Dutchy. It looks like an escalator. I'm going to guess Pennsylvania.
