A monthly contest from the editors of RECORD asks you to guess the architect for a work of historical importance.
Clue: With its melding of industrial glazing and ornamental millwork, this school of art exemplifies early 20th-century efforts to root novel forms in craft-based traditions. The school’s architect was among the most influential of the time, exhibiting work at the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society while designing this school, his magnum opus. A large-scale restoration of the building is now under way following fires in 2014 and 2018.

Last month's answer: The Amsterdam Orphanage, completed in 1960, was designed by Aldo van Eyck. A central figure within Team 10, a group that sought new directions for Modernism following the Second World War, van Eyck argued for a rethinking of doctrinaire approaches to both architecture and urbanism. This project links the two by treating the building as a miniaturized city.
