There is a nice café at the ground floor with a bright, modern and relaxed atmosphere!

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..

"Air" and "Rail"

The building's name composed of "Air" and "Rail" certainly alludes to the fact that it is built above a railway station and right next to the Frankfurt International Airport.

Renovation

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

culture of Mainz

This theatre is a center of culture in Mainz and a beautiful center too.

Tetris

Despite the fact that the building symbolizes a portcullis, I think it looks like yet another Tetris-building. The two parts perfectly fit into one another.

Does anyone know what will happen to the Henninger Turm in the future?

The smaller grey part with a fassade made of triangles is also part of it.

The skybridge concept

The skybridge concept reminds me of the Petronas Twin Towers (http://www.ourbania.de/urban-items/petronas-towers).

Blue and Purple

In my opinion the blue and purple parts above the entrance combine historic / traditional architecture with new flashy / colorful elements very well.

The shape is really nice and it welcomes every visitor of Fankfurt who is driving towards the city center from the Autobahn 5.

Pros and Cons

BobTheBuilder — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:43:28 +0100

It is nice to have such a mega shopping mall, but one also needs to consider the consequences for retailers in the cities aroud Weiterstadt. Consumers will drift from the city centers to LOOP5 and the city centers will die out. What do you think?

Whale, Shell, Ufo

One could also argue that it looks like a typical UFO which crashed into the earth.
