Modernity Epoch building in Germany
Snowing in my hometown.
La Masia Freixa is a modernist building located in Terrassa (Barcelona).
Built in 1896, it was originally designed as a fabric factory and was reformed between 1907 and 1914 by Lluís Muncunill i Parellada, who transformed the factory into the family residence of textile industrialist Josep Freixa.
The architect turned it into one of the jewels of Modernism art in Terrassa, with its arches and vaults inspired by Gaudí and white painted walls.
Highlights a tall tower, which has an octagonal body of four levels, the last of which is surrounded by a balcony viewpoint.
Nowadays, the Masia Freixa is home to the City Council for the Promotion of the City and Tourism and, also, the Ombudsman's Office.

Following my previous post this picture continues along my line of trying to push the strict tenants of the New Topographics movement to maintain objectivity, but add vitality.
And just douse it with natural color.

Bj ca 1930, Architekt?
Unfortunately I did not foud any Information about this building.
Looking west from the north end of the complex. Love how the 'white' pulls in the landscape on the wall on the left. Also, the floor seems to shimmy!

SU42-510 hauls out half of the empty ZSSKC wagons from Nabrzeże Polskie. The wagons would later be shunted to the other side of the embankment for loadup with coal.
The building in the background is a large cooler storage, built in 1930, which (at the time of its construction) used to be one of the largest cooler storages in Europe. The builing was expanded by a few stories between 1930 and 1934. It was used for storing meats from import and for export - anything from fish to bacon. It also used to have a direct rail connection (with large doors and tracks leading inside).

I posted a colour portrait photo of this view recently and really like the view in black and white as well. Interesting to find this old article while looking for info about Naenae architecture ...
Naenae has a special place in NZ urbanism
It would be great if it did get saved. The Post Office has closed we now post letters at the video shop ... which I suppose might have closed if the post office hadn't!).
