Part of a city landscape (Chassé parc), where there is room for living (houses, appartments), public services and leisure spending.

Houses are called 'theater houses'. They are situated across the theater.

The whole site is a cluster of blocks, developed by different architects.

Modern architecture at Ginza, Tokyo.

Architecture – Modern

This is another collection of buildings (some as photographed), glass panels, abstract shapes formed from buildings. Most are in London, although they could be any city. I have not named any building, nor have attempted to find Architects or Designers. I have just altered things to my own taste, nothing is sacrosanct, nothing lasts for ever, new ideas quickly become old as will these images be the moment I post them. Please enjoy.

The Peak of the Week ;-) Well, that's the weekend, of course, but we are getting closer to that now that it's Hump Day :-)

Laowa C-Dreamer 7,5mm F/2

This is the "berlin cube", a brand new building and architectural highlight right by Berlin's central station, the Hauptbahnhof. The ten-storey office building with a width, height and length of 42.5 metres each was designed by 3XN Architects from Copenhagen in an

energy-efficient way and is equipped with the latest technology, including 3,800 sensors for smart control. The photographical highlight is the glass facade with triangle shaped elements that reflect the surroundings like a kaleidoscope. The cube is great fun – and also quite challenging – to photograph, and I will return there soon with a different lens line-up :-) Should you happen to visit Berlin some day, the "berlin cube" should be on your list of things to photograph. The Hauptbahnhof itself is interesting, too, and the Government district and other points of photographic interest are near by.

Happy Hump Day, and HWW, Everyone :-)

Dies ist der "berlin cube", ein nigelnagelneues Bürogebäude direkt am Berliner Hauptbahnhof, das erst in diesem Jahr fertiggestellt wurde. Das wohl auffälligste Element dieses 42,5 m breiten und hohen Würfels ist die Glasfassade, die mit nach innen gerichteten Dreieckselementen ausgestattet wurde, die die Umgebung kaleidoskopartig widerspiegeln. Im Innern ist der vom Kopenhagener Architekturbüro 3XN entworfene und in energieeffizienter Bauweise errichtete Cube mit modernster Technologie, darunter 3.800 Sensoren für intelligente Steuerung, ausgestattet. Es macht großen Spaß, dort zu fotografieren und ich werde sicher bald wieder vorbeischauen, dann mit anderen Brennweiten für einen ganz neuen Blick auf den Cube. Wenn Ihr mal in Berlin seid, solltet Ihr unbedingt dort vorbeischauen. Das Regierungsviertel und andere Sehenswürdigkeiten sind auch nicht weit, sodass man sich dort locker einen Tag fotografisch austoben kann ;-)

Ich wünsche Euch eine schöne Restwoche, liebe Flickr-Freunde, passt gut auf Euch auf!

Only missing a circle and you?

Do you can find one?

For Rotterdam's Timmerhuis, a new building for the city hall that accommodates municipal services, offices, and residential units, OMA conceived a modular building with repeated units gradually set back from the street as they rise into two irregular peaks.
