A Glimpse of Gehry

Neuer Zollhof at Medienhafen, is a prominent landmark designed by American architect Frank Gehry as part of the redeveloped port of Düsseldorf, Germany.

 

The building complex consists of three separate buildings (two of which are visble in this photo on the left). Floorplans and facades of all three buildings curve and lean, reason for them being likened to leaning towers. The tallest building is 14 stories high and just under 50 m tall. Each building has a different facade cladding - the outer two in white plaster and red brick respectively; the central building's stainless steel facade (barely visible) reflects material and shapes of its two neighbour buildings.
