The Wexner Center was designed by Peter Eisenman. "The towers symbolize the Armory, which used to occupy the site, while white metal girders represent the street layout of the OSU campus and the City of Columbus." (Ohio History Central)
The Barcelon Chair was designed by Mies van der Rohe. The chairs design was inspired by ancient folding chairs.
The Red and Blue Chair was designed by Gerrit Reitveld. The chairs colors were selected to resemble Mondrians paintings. 
Philip Johnson designed the Math Tower. 
Acock & Associates designed Thompson Library. It's interesting that the sides of the buildings facing the oval have to remain true to their original architecture but all other sides of the buildings, including the library have been updated with a modern twist.

The division of labor for the scavanger hunt was pretty simple within our team. Before we left Hopkins we all researched where all the clues could be found, then we traveled as a group and took pictures for each other at every location. We decided to do the remainder of the research seperately when we were updating our blogs.
