Guess these buildings-New Poster by me

[Cbautz]

I have been putting some of my architectural images together into a postergrid. First, let me know what you think of the composition. Its more about building textures. Then try and guess each building. Most are from Chicago some are from elsewhere.

it's cool. Okay, The middle and down three is the JHC. All the way to the right and down three is the Jhc again. Three to the right and down two is the 190 South LaSalle building. Top and to right three is a reflection of the JHC. And the first one on the top, is around the sears tower. I don't know the rest.

i know a lot of these but i don't know their names! but i know in the first column, second row, that is Trump tower with the IBM building next to it!...i think!

The first photo is at the Chicago Federal Center, the sculpture the Flamingo by Alexander Calder.

row one, column 2 = 600 N. Fairbanks by Helmut Jahn
row 3, column 3 = Monadnock Block by Burnham and Root
row 4, column 3 = Guggenheim in New York?

You are really close. Next time I do this, I will number them. I can't beleive you didn't get number 8. Hint, its a government building.

I recognize all of them, but I can't think of enough of the names right now to justify myself taking the time to type them out. However, I will say that I think it is a very neat idea, and the overall composition is well done and looks great! I enjoy viewing a set of pictures that are arranged in such a way as to make each building look fresh even though I have seen them all hundreds of times. I second Adrian: more, more!

(I was going to add another "more", but then it would have resembled the chorus in that terrible 70s tune filled with corny innuendo [or perhaps just a blatant sexual reference] or the dreadful Comcast commercial that incorporated the tune.)
