I am an architecture student and I am doing some case studies on buildings with a welded steel beam structure. I am a little bored with the buildings I have come across and was wondering if anyone could give me some names of some buildings that fit my assignment but would also be interesting to research. Something untraditional.
Thanks.

I've settled on Mies's Crown Hall, ITT and Vinoly's Tokyo International forum. Thanks though.

National Building Museum has welded plate I-beams at the underside of the roof. It was built 1882-1887, before the realization that steel wasn't fireproof.

Most structures today are a combination of welded and bolted construction. Typically the structure is made up of welded assemblies that can be fabricated in a shop and then transported to the actual construction site where they are bolted together. Bolting in the field is quicker and easier to control the quality of the work. Welding can only be done when the weather conditions permit. High wind and rain make quality welding difficult to produce.
