No sweat.
The website for the photo is the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology. Coupled with the famous architect hint, I googled “swiss architect” and that got me Le Corbusier right off.
A little poking got me the name of the building. Finding the address was a little harder, but a couple minutes of digging brought it up.
Then, my error. I should have posted right away. Instead, I took my son to Cub Scouts, since the refresh of this site was sooo farking slow.
Came home, saw the additional hint of “le”, and I knew I had it. Imagine my chagrin, when my preview of the post revealed keturah’s entry in front of mine… :smack:
I cling to a slim hope. There is a slight difference in the spellings provided…
So, Link - who has the ** correct** answer?
The spelling doesn’t make a difference, as oe and ö can be used interchangeably in german. But your solution is more elegant than being married to an architect.
Let’s call it a draw.
Ok, from the picture I believe this was shot in Europe and it brings to mind one of those wacky flying contraption festivals/contests where everybody attempts to fly off the end of a pier? I know of a couple of these contests but can’t think of their names for the life of me.
I believe he “flew” about 7 feet and then plummetted straight down about another 20 feet off the pier he’s standing on.
Am I warm?
devilsknew, just so you know, I wasn’t trying to come down on you personally. I was just trying to keep missing_link’s thread from degenerating into chaos. (Plus, I’m anxiously waiting to see if my flying peanut answer is correct so I can post my question!)
