Packet 12: Tossup 22

An architect used frames of this material for a building located on a sixty-degree slope, as outlined in a book partly titled “1-2-3.” François Pinault commissioned a cylindrical wall of this material for inside the Bourse de Commerce’s main hall. This is the main material used by an architect for the Rokko Housing series and a windowless “Row House.” Four crosses made of this material appear in a complex whose floor-to-ceiling window opens to a (*) reflecting pool. In a chapel constructed from this material, the only source of illumination is a (-5[1])cruciform slit hewn into the east wall. This is the main material used in the Chapel on the Water and Church of the Light, both designed by Tadao Ando, as well as Habitat 67 and Boston City Hall. For 10 points, many Brutalist buildings use a “reinforced” form of what material? (10[1])■END■
