_________________________ A million miles away in time and context is this building:- ![]() Very simple but slightly unusual too. I like how the steps come down, but the walls flanking them don't: they stay level and present us with two spheres, which constitute the only ornamentation in sight. It looks attractive enough in the snow and winter sunlight, but in the the second photo, the building has a mildly sinister feel - and that's appropriate, because it is in fact the studio of the famous artist Edvard Munch. Suddenly, the building looks exactly like one of the washed-out backgrounds in his paintings.

These modern influences often are installed when a building, or part of a building is damaged, but many if not most cities try to restore buildings to their former appearance. Especially here in the south of Germany we would not like something like that. Our cities are more like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9TFKw99BPo We really love the ancient vibe and try to keep our cities looking old. edit: even in much larger cities in the south the city core is usually entirely preserved take Munich as an example which has many modern buildings in its Speckgürtel, ![]() but the city core looks like this ![]() Last edited by Danzaburou; 04-04-2023 at 12:16 PM. |

__________________ Thanks for all the building photos, Danza ![]() I liked the gothic-style town hall (more than Nymphenburger Castle tbh), and if you like that style too, you can see some other similar buildings right near the start of this thread. Schwäbisch Hall looks wonderful, and it's true, all the newer houses follow very carefully the style of the older ones. The giant coins stuck in the road were a nice surprise too. As for the BMW factory, those towers reminded me of part of a toy rocket my son once had, but something tells me that, as a building, it looks more attractive in your photo than it might in real life. _________________ I was once lucky enough to stay in Lübeck, which is also a well-preserved German town. On the Baltic coast, it has had to accomodate modern roads more than Schwäbisch, I think:- ![]()
