Tossup
The first curtain wall to be designed by computer was in this architect’s limestone- and marble-heavy design for the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center. This architect designed the Fountain Place skyscraper in that same city, where this architect added a redundant set of oval columns to a political office to assuage the mayor’s fears that the 34-degree slope of its “inverted” walls was unstable. This architect used pink-tinted, bush-hammered concrete to emulate Anasazi cliff dwellings in his design for an NCAR facility. This architect of Dallas City Hall and Mesa Laboratory was taken on a road trip by Rolling Stone to brainstorm his “glass tent” design for a pyramid near Lake Erie. For 10 points, Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was designed by what Chinese-American architect? ■END■
