New Orleans (UF 298)
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rottredam, Kop van Zuid, Wilhelminabier, New Orleans, High rise, Alvaro Siza, Facade, Windows, Loggias, Curtains.
The 'New Orleas, one of the iconic highrise of the Kop van Zuid. Alvaro Siza didn't design many highrise and he didn't clad them in marble either, but the proportions of the facade and use of loggias is recognizable. To me, the building always looks a bit like a square version of the güiro - an Afro-Caribean percussion instrument.
This is number 1241 of Minimalism / explicit Graphism and 66 of Facades.
