After an year not very easy, this long month away from home, I really wanted it! :)
I carry with me a large baggage of emotions and memories linked to every place I visited...Rotterdam, and its spectacular modern architecture stole my heart the genius of the architects and the huge heat weather I didn't expect to find in Holland! :D

The pavilion of EXPO 2008 takes the form of a typical Aragonese wicker basket achieved by intertwined panels of glass and micro-concrete with white glass fibre, providing the interior with a large quantity of natural light. This weave is opaque in the base, becoming more transparent as the building gets higher.
Le pavillon de l'EXPO 2008 prend la forme d'un panier en osier aragonais typique réalisé par des panneaux entrelacés de verre et de micro-béton avec de la fibre de verre blanche, fournissant à l'intérieur une grande quantité de lumière naturelle. Ce tissage est opaque dans la base, devenant plus transparent à mesure que le bâtiment monte.
Moderne Architektur ist in Hamburg auf Schritt und tritt zu bestaunen. Dichtigkeit der Bebauung erscheint oft locker und gibt Luft zum Atmen!
This is a second series 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.
