Wrap

The Reichstag was wrappen in plastic in 1995 by famous artist Christo. The event was considered quite spectecular, but I still can't make any sense of it ...

The Pencil

Also known as "The Pencil". Guess why! :-)

R.I.P

The Olympiastadium in Munich was an excellent athletics stadium but not a modern soccer arena. So there is now the Allianz Arena so the Olympiastadium can rest in piece now..

Renovation

The most visible renovation process was the renewal of the entrance and the court in front of it.

A Boat?

Is this building supposed to look like a boat. It it is, it is very abstract, but the steel cables, the filigree design and the swung roof suggest it. And it is close to the water ...

Combination

A successful combination of the historic fassade and the modern interior. Different from Apple's store on 5th Ave. which is completely made of glass and modern.

really artistic..

This is less a design but more an artistic building. Beautiful.

Diffuse

The more or less diffuse design reminds me of the Scottish Parliament building: http://www.ourbania.de/urban-items/scottish-parliament-buildings

Rusty

Pinot — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:38:17 +0100

It looks a bit rusty, doesn't it?

wow

Dragonstar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:38:12 +0100

Now i know why Shanghai is called "future town". Really impressive..

Museum?

Pinot — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:33:19 +0100

On the pictures it looks a bit more like a recreation park or a museum. Does anyone have more information about it?

Round and Angled

Pinot — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 10:31:41 +0100

I like the combination of round and angled elements. That makes the whole buiding more interesting.

Tetris

Let's play Tetris again. This is another bulding with cubical and rectangular 3-dimensional shapes that perfectly match up.
