Acropolis Museum, Athens
Bernard Tschumi Architects
"Designed with spare horizontal lines and utmost simplicity, the Museum is deliberately non-monumental, focusing the visitor’s attention on extraordinary works of art. With the greatest possible clarity, the design translates programmatic requirements into architecture."

Eye Film Institute, Amsterdam
Delugan Meissl Associated Architects
"Both the Eye Film Institute’s concept and urban implementation are based on an overlay of two creative disciplines which have at their core reality and fiction, illusion and real experience. The building concept becomes the story board, the architecture the scenography. By delivering a dynamic interplay, the building’s assigned role oscillates between acting as the urban scenery’s protagonist and as a dramaturgical element placed in front of a heterogeneous landscape setting." archdaily.com
Like several other works of architecture by Herzog & de Meuron the Forum Building, known since the 2012 relocation of Barcelona's Museu de les Ciències Naturals as the Museu Blau, is remarkable for its sensitive use of materials. A triangular mass of gray-blue concrete punctured and split in places to reveal the contrasting use of reflective planes, the building is a hard one to ignore, especially for an architectural photographer.
Wie einige andere architektonische Werke von Herzog & de Meuron ist auch das Forum-Gebäude, das seit dem Umzug des Museu de les Ciències Naturals in Barcelona im Jahr 2012 als Museu Blau bekannt ist, für seine sensible Verwendung von Materialien bemerkenswert. Das Gebäude ist eine dreieckige Masse aus grau-blauem Beton, die an einigen Stellen durchbrochen und gespalten ist, um die kontrastierende Verwendung von reflektierenden Flächen zu enthüllen, und ist schwer zu ignorieren, insbesondere für einen Architekturfotografen

Eye Film Institute, Amsterdam
Delugan Meissl Associated Architects
"Situated in the privileged riverside area in the heart of Amsterdam, the Film Institute represents the visual landmark of the new Amstrdam Noord quarter. This development area extends over to the former Shell Terrain on the opposite side of the river to the Centraal Station, Amsterdam’s train station. As the international oil company’s former research centre, this area which is situated close to the city centre and along the the busy urban water vein held a sensitive function. It used to be an isolated wasteland, hermetically secured and not accessible to the public. (...) The Overhoeks Tower is the only architectural relic that reminds of the area’s former use. This distinctive landmark has been integrated into the Film Institute’s conceptual design idea through formal referencing." (archdaily.com)
"Unübersehbar thront der kristalline weiße Bau als Blickfang am Nordufer des Flusses IJ hinter dem Hauptbahnhof, flankiert vom ehemaligen Shell-Hochhaus aus den späten 1960ern – auf dessen Formensprache er subtil Bezug nimmt – und einem Grüppchen neuer Wohnbauten von der geleckten Sorte. Auch wenn Roman Delugan das nicht gerne hört, handelt es sich bei dem Gebäude zweifellos um eine Skulptur. Von jedem Standpunkt aus bietet der Bau, der abends zum riesigen Leuchtobjekt wird, einen anderen Anblick: Hat man ihn von Osten gesehen, ist er von Westen kaum wiederzuerkennen. Diese Dynamik der Wahrnehmung bildete die Basis des Entwurfskonzepts, das um den Bezug zwischen Film und Architektur kreiselte." (baunetz.de)

Rotterdam
Netherlands
The Luchtsingel (a wooden pedestrian bridge) connects Rotterdam North to the center and revitalizes a forgotten area. This part of the city did not count for years and was dominated by vacancy and neglection.
The Luchtsingel is being realized by crowdfunding, an exciting new means of funding in which the public donates money via an online platform in order to make a project reality. The footbridge, which uses the slogan “the more you donate, the longer the bridge”, has resonated with the public imagination and surpassed its initial funding goals, becoming an important part of Rotterdam’s urban rejuvenation.
The inner ward of the Moritzburg, Halle (Saale)
"The ancient castle of Moritzburg in the city of Halle is a very valuable example of Gothic military architecture, typical of Germany at the end of the 15th century. Its turbulent history has inevitably been reflected in the many alternations it has undergone over the years. But despite these, the building still keeps the original structure of its main architectural features: the surrounding wall, three of the four round towers at the corners and the central courtyard.
The partial destruction of the north and west wings in the 17th century during the Thirty Years War left the castle with the image of a romantic ruin which it has kept over the centuries to today. Except for a stillborn project by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in 1828, until now no integral work has been planned to alter and enlarge the ancient ruin for the art museum housed there since 1904. (...)
The angular geometry of the new scenery of roofs and metal tower contrasts with castle’s existing irregular shape and high roof. In spirit with the uneasy and expressive forms painted by Feininger, on display in the museum, the new fragments continue the process of changes that feature in the history of the Moritzburg Castle over time."

Paris, contemporary architecture by Agence Bernard Bühler, Quai d'Austerlitz.
"The railing of the balconies are in dichroic glass. That is to say that depending on the orientation, the angle of view, a color will appear appearing from blue to yellow, going through the green."

Reconstruction of the central part of the Parthenon roof
Acropolis Museum, Athens
"Light: The collection consists primarily of works of sculpture, many of them architectural pieces that originally decorated the monuments of the Acropolis, so the building that exhibits them is a museum of ambient natural light. The use of various types of glass allows light to flood into the top-floor Parthenon Gallery, to filter through skylights into the archaic galleries, and to penetrate the core of the building, gently touching the archeological excavation below the building."
