Nobel Center Matching Game

<b>UPDATE 11/15:</b> Three finalists have been announced. See <a href="http://archidose.blogspot.com/2013/11/nobel-center-matching-game-answers-and.html">my new post</a> to find out all of the entries, or see the bottom of this post for the answer key.<br /><br />Back in April the Nobel Foundation selected twelve architects to vie for the design of the <a href="http://www.nobelcenter.se/">Nobel Center</a> in Stockholm. Eleven of the firms (minus Herzog & de Meuron) submitted designs at the end of September, and each of them <a href="http://www.nobelcenter.se/program/design-proposals-2/">can be viewed</a> on the Nobel Center website. Oh, and each entry is anonymous. According to the website: "The jury will not comment on any proposal until 2-5 of them in November 2013 have been selected to proceed to the competitions [sic] second stage. The names of the architects behind each submission will at that point be revealed." Below are the proposals, followed by the list of the architects at bottom. So which architect goes with which proposal?<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nobelcenter.se/program/design-proposals-2/">Design Proposals</a> (in alphabetical order):<br /><br />A. <a
