It's been a while since I've posted something for Window Wednesday. This is another one from the archives, photographed at Easter last year. It's a detail of the interesting façade of the "Axel-Springer-Neubau", the new building of the Axel Springer publishing house complex. A large part of that new building's exterior consists of window facets that create a modern, almost spaceship-like look.
Axel-Springer-Neubau, also called Axel Springer Campus, was designed by Rem Koolhaas (*1944) of OMA Architects, Rotterdam, and was opened in 2020. Here's a link to the OMA/project website if you are interested in taking a look at the entire building complex and the interior (I so wish it were possible to photograph there, too!):

Axel Cäsar Springer (*1912 in Hamburg, † 1985 in West Berlin) was a German newspaper proprietor who published a wide array of newspapers (both "serious" and yellow press), magazines (like the teen magazine "Bravo"), TV guides, and such.
I apologize for making myself so scarce on Flickr at the moment. I'm very busy with work.
HWW, and Happy Hump Day Everyone!
