This is not Titanic .. MedienHafen Düsseldorf (Explore)
Highest position on Explore: #155 on Saturday, July 30, 2010
Düsseldorf’s waterfront has been spectacularly transformed into an
architectural wonderland with a collection of striking contemporary
buildings.
The place (Medienhafen) is supposed to resemble an outdoor art museum,
with trendies, radio stations, advertising agencies and other assorted
fashionistas making it their literal and spiritual home.
Starting in the early 1980′s, the 234 metre height Rheinturm tower,
featuring the world’s largest decimal clock, became the symbol of
Düsseldorf. Later, Californian architect Frank Gehry (of Bilbao’s
Guggenheim Museum fame) was responsible for Neuer Zollhof 1 and 2, the
twin über-quirkily shaped white/aluminium-clad building block
creations.
You simply can’t miss either the 62-metre high Colorium tower block
full of blue, red and yellow coloured panels by British designer
William Alsop, or the Neuwerk and Roggendorf-Haus blocks complete with
29 colourful giant human-like figures hanging onto the facade like so
many Spiderman-lost-his-way parodies.

Ein toller Bildaufbau und eine schöne Symmetrie, das Gebäude ist wie gebaut für solche Spiegelungen. Da muß ich auch mal hin.
