2011 – stop hiding

…the museum is closed for 2 years, but the wall is fantastic…

at 10.46am on february 3 1931, napier was levelled by a catastrophic earthquake (7.9 on the richter scale). the citizens started to rebuild the town in a new style: art deco – symbolizing the beginning of a new decade. unfortunately, most of the buildings are in a rundown condition. only a few have such an appealing appearance like the taradale town hall, situated in a suburb of napier.

coming closer to art deco on the way to napier.

latitude 37° – 41,5° south / longitude 178° – 32,9° east

this is the most eastern place in the world…first to see the sun…every morning…

new plain pad II out now

the walden 7 complex in barcelona was build in 1975 by ricardo bofill. it is still a completely fascinating residential for nearly 450 units including shops, offices, bars and a swimming pool, even some table tennis courtyards!

this is all i can say.

the actual exhibition of “the house of hohenstaufen and italy” in mannheim, made me thinking of a project i photographed 10 years ago in apulia about the “castel del monte” and “frederick II”, the “first modern man on throne” and also the architect of the “crown of stone”

…something is missing…

the book of the project with “www.freelens.com” called “1 tag deutschland, 07. mai 2010″ is now published. have a look pages 132/133.
