Tossup

Suspended black staircases feature in one of these buildings designed by Zaha Hadid which was built on the site of a military barracks. The Quadracci Pavilion was designed by Santiago Calatrava for one of these buildings in Milwaukee. A skylight shaped like a metal flower tops one of these buildings designed by Frank Gehry, which has (10[1])flowers in a 40-foot-tall puppy shape outside it. A helical (10[1])ramp surrounds (10[1])an open atrium in one of these (10[1])buildings that its architect (10[1])called an “inverted ziggurat.” François Mitterand commissioned I. M. Pei to design a glass-and-metal structure (10[1])for one of these buildings (10[1])in Paris. For 10 points, what kinds of buildings include the Guggenheim and the Louvre? ■END■
