!! cathedrals !! i get blown away thinking about over a century of work building and generations - several. this thread is visually going to be stunning!
   " . . .Rietveld’s career proceeded uninterrupted until 1943. He then was subsequently barred from practising as an architect, due to his refusal to join the Nazi-controlled Kulturkammer. After the war, the country and Rietveld gradually returned to normality, and Rietveld continued his work until he died at an age of 76. Among his numerous furniture models, The Zig Zag chair, The Red and Blue Chair, the Schelling and Military series remain as eternal design icons. Gerrit Rietveld’s designs are to be found in the most important museum collections over the world.. .

Man, I love architectural stuff!
I came across this recently and found it very interesting. I have a deep interest in preservation of cultural artifacts, architecture, anything of historical value ... |

This link is to one of my favorite threads on the internet: People from all over the world post pictures of "Public Housing / Tenements / Commie Blocks / Projects / Housing Estates". I can't say I "like" most of the architecture in the thread, in fact much of it is horrifying. But grouping these architectural images by function reveals much -viscerally and aestetically- about the humanity behind that function. These aren't "pleasing" revelations, but they are stunning.
I've done an atrocious job of explaining my attraction to this thread but here it is if you wanna check it out: http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=247127 (Long story short: we don't have to "like" design for it to be revealing and compelling). (Blah Blah Blah).

Gaudi architecture in Spain!
  Creepy but cool! Cyclopea, I love the idea of tenements and commie block housing, will see what I can find later.

Check this hotel out. It is in Berlin and is designed in the style of the DDR, Communist East Germany. Stark, utilitarian and funky!

before commiting to the whole process of being in Berlin for two years - but that plan fell to the side... I read up a bit on some of the history of the building and what they have done to preserve the historical value of the property. http://www.louisas-place.de/ Here's a link to Lisa Komisar's info page on where she stayed during her travels (Louisa's Place) and some info about that experience and history of local historical sites near the hotel, etc. http://www.travellady.com/Issues/Sep...sculptures.htm |
