Ein Gebäude von Fritz Schumacher.
In dem dreigeschossigen Halbrund befindet sich unter einem Glasdach eine Treppenhalle in Stahlbeton, mit hufeisenförmig umlaufenden Galerien und farbigen keramischen Brüstungsfeldern von Richard Kuöhl. Dieser Künstler hat 1929 auch den imposanten Fayencebrunnen von fünf Metern Höhe in der Mitte der Halle geschaffen.
El personaje de nariz de berenjena esta inspirado en el trabajo de Bernardo Henning
para aquellos que no conozcan su trabajo les recomiendo se den una vuelta por su flickr (Altamente recomendado).

Last week I visited Berlin. 24 hours aren’t much time unless you are Jack Bauer the main character of 24. I came to visit my good old friends. If you read this, thanks for everything, it was a great time.
Of course I took come shots of the great architectural scene over there. The first is of a place called Sony Center. It has a roof which is made from parts that are supposed to look like sails.
As I really love sailing this planets oceans the roof was of course fascinating to me. If you ever go there be sure to bring a wide lens. The roof is really huge. You are not able to capture the whole thing with a 18mmm on a crop camera!
However… The locations also reminds me on all these movies where people sit in a spaceship shooting around with guns in front of these huge glass wall with the space in the background.
If you have ever seen a movie like this you might know what I am talking about
I wish a beautiful and creative week to all of you!

Is mathematics the language of the universe?
I find it neat that many plants (haha, but not all!) follow a mathematical rule called the "Golden Ratio" when they grow. Using this ratio (and a numbering sequence attributed to Fibonacci but known in India for hundreds of years before), each petal is able to get the maximum amount of sunlight it possibly can. Next time you see a sunflower, take a close look - its growth pattern can be described using mathematics!
The beautiful roof construction of the Liége-Guillemins train station gives a nice reflection in one of the glass elevators shafts.These elevators connect the Grand Gallery with the Platforms.

While walking the Thames Path, you also see the SIS Building or MI6 Building.
This is the way OUT.......... and this is the way IN .......
HFF everyone !
"The SIS Building or MI6 Building at Vauxhall Cross houses the headquarters of the Secret Intelligence Service (SIS, MI6), the United Kingdom's foreign intelligence agency.
Since 1995, SIS headquarters has been at 85 Vauxhall Cross, along the Albert Embankment in Vauxhall on the south bank of the River Thames by Vauxhall Bridge, London. Previous headquarters have been Century House, 100 Westminster Bridge Road, Lambeth (1966–1995); and 54 Broadway, off Victoria Street, London (1924–1966). Although SIS operated from Broadway, it was actually based at St James's Street and also made considerable use of the adjoining St Ermin's Hotel.
The building was designed by Sir Terry Farrell and built by John Laing. The developer Regalian Properties approached the government in 1987 to see if they had any interest in the proposed building. At the same time, MI5 was seeking alternative accommodation and co-location of the two services was studied. In the end this proposal was abandoned due to the lack of buildings of adequate size (existing or proposed) and the security considerations of providing a single target for attacks. In December 1987, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher's government approved the purchase of the new building for SIS.
The building design was reviewed to incorporate the necessary protection for the UK's foreign intelligence gathering agency. This includes overall increased security, extensive computer suites, technical areas, bomb blast protection, emergency back-up systems and protection against electronic eavesdropping. While the details and cost of construction have been released, about ten years after the original National Audit Office (NAO) report was written, some of the service's special requirements remain classified. The NAO report Thames House and Vauxhall Cross has certain details omitted, describing in detail the cost and problems of certain modifications, but not what these are. Rob Humphrey's London: The Rough Guide suggests one of these omitted modifications is a tunnel beneath the Thames to Whitehall. The NAO put the final cost at £135.05 million for site purchase and the basic building, or £152.6 million including the service's special requirements.
The setting of the SIS offices was featured in the James Bond films GoldenEye, The World Is Not Enough, Die Another Day, Skyfall and Spectre.
SIS allowed filming of the building itself for the first time in The World is Not Enough for the pre-credits sequence, where a bomb hidden in a briefcase full of money is detonated inside the building. A Daily Telegraph article said that the British government opposed the filming, but this was denied by a Foreign Office spokesperson.
In Skyfall the building is once again attacked by an explosion, this time by a cyber attack turning on a gas line and igniting the fumes, after which SIS operations are moved to a secret underground facility.
In Spectre, the evil head of crime organisation SPECTRE, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, traps Agent 007 James Bond alongside the film's Bond girl Dr. Madeleine Swann inside the remains of the building. Blofeld then detonated bombs planted in the building, demolishing what was left of the building fully, though Bond managed to save Dr. Swann and escape before the building exploded."- WiKi
