Victor S. Brigola Photography

just two days before the second lockdown began, i headed into the kleinwalsertal to take the photos of the youth hostel of the stadtjugendring stuttgart. this weekend felt a little bit like “shining” being nearly alone in a 20 room hostel with around 70 beds up in the mountains.

a perfect filled vacant lot in erfurt by deckertmesterarchitekten.

no words.

this is a wonderful project of deckertmesterarchitekten, an apartment build in the sixties in berlin grunewald and now converted into a modern living space.

it was the fifth time that i was teaching my workshop technical camera and architectural photography at the wifi innsbruck, and i have been travelling nearly a hundred times to innsbruck, where i once lived, but it was the first time that i had a special permit to enter my homeland austria. in times of covid 19 it is not that easy to travel in europe…nobody ever thought that something like this could happen. i was really happy, that my workshop took place with these fabulous participants!

this is my very spontanous coronavirus pandemic project from today. i call it high noon. on a normal tuesday in april, with more than 20°, there are lot of people around in the city for shopping or having lunch. but at the moment the city is quiet as i have seen it only on early sunday mornings and only a few people are on the streets.

since more than fourty years i love these buildings, which i always saw through the car window on our family trips over the alps heading to the mediterranean sea. this is a ventilation shaft of the arlberg tunnel around 2.000 meters above sea level in the tyrolean alps. a really wonderful brutalist concrete building like a cathedral. have a look to more at marlowes.

maria regina in fellbach, near my hometown stuttgart. one of my most beloved brutalist churches and finally i had the time to take pictures of her.

today is the 100th birthday of the living architecture pritzker price laureate legend gottfried böhm who build the mariendom in neviges where i was able to take these photographs.
