The staircase was seen at Arkenmuseum I Copenhagen. I took the picture because there was nothing on display. The picture is processed further with Photoshop Express on the iPad.
Inclement weather in my neighborhood. Clouds in the sky make good subjects that offer ever changing photo-ops. The hurricane season is represented by a swirl and not as destructive as real weather. Shot with iPhone X Max and processed using the Photoshop Fix and Express apps.
ENG: The Shell House on the Reichpietschufer in Berlin's Tiergarten district, a listed building, was built between 1930 and 1932 on what was then Königin-Augusta-Straße (from 1933 Tirpitzufer and from 1947 Reichpietschufer) for Hamburg-based Rhenania-Ossag mineral oil works AG (from 1947 German Shell AG) on the basis of a design by architect Emil Fahrenkamp. Since 2012, the second office of the Federal Ministry of Defence has been located in the Shell building as a tenant.
A special feature of the stylistic steel skeleton building and one of the most important office buildings of the Weimar Republic is its striking design. The vertical waveforms of different heights and a consistently horizontal division by window bands, which are also led over the external curves. The façade was bricked with gas concrete blocks and covered with slabs of Roman travertine from Tivoli. A technical innovation was to reduce the vibrations caused by road traffic; air slits were built under the sidewalks around the building to keep the vibrations away from the steel scaffolding.
GER: Das unter Denkmalschutz stehende Shell-Haus am Reichpietschufer im Berliner Bezirk Tiergarten wurde nach einem Entwurf des Architekten Emil Fahrenkamp von 1930 bis 1932 an der damaligen Königin-Augusta-Straße (ab 1933 Tirpitzufer und seit 1947 Reichpietschufer) für die Hamburger Rhenania-Ossag Mineralölwerke AG (ab 1947 Deutsche Shell AG) errichtet. Aktuell ist seit 2012 der zweit Dienstsitzes des Bundesministeriums der Verteidigung im Shell-Haus als Mieter ansässig.
Eine Besonderheit des stilistischen Stahlskelettbaus und eines der bedeutendsten Bürohäuser der Weimarer Republik ist die markante Gestaltung. Die senkrechte Wellenformen unterschiedlicher Höhe und eine konsequent waagerechte Gliederung durch Fensterbänder, die auch über die außen liegenden Rundungen hinweg geführt werden. Die Fassade wurde mit Gasbetonsteinen ausgemauert und mit Platten aus Römischem Travertin aus Tivoli verkleidet. Eine technische Neuerung sollte die Erschütterungen durch den Straßenverkehr verringern, so wurden Luftschlitze unter den Gehwegen rund um das Gebäude gebaut um die Schwingungen vom Stahlgerüst fernzuhalten.
The airlines are starting to fly again! A picture of the contrails juxtaposed to the waning moon in a heavily cropped zoom taken with the iPhone X Max. I took the photo standing on my back porch and did some further work using the Distressed FX app and sharpened with the Photoshop Express app.
