It's a been a while after my previous upload. I'm very busy and my normally latent drummers/mouse arm (RSI) is acting up - so I must minimize my time working with computer keyboards and other input devices ;-) So I will be slow commenting but will catch up with y'all :-)

Netherlands, Flevoland, Almere, Het Alnovum (uncut)

The WTC - Alnovum trade and congress centre in Almere-Stad. Designed by Benthem Crouwel. It stands out because of its green glass facade and graphical ornaments - but I again choose B/W here for a starker graphical appeal.

Netherlands, Flevoland, Almere, La Defense (UN Studio) (uncut)

UNStudio's La Defense in Almere. A delightfully glass facaded 'chameleon' office building which loves the light .......and light always reciprokes, changing the way the multicoloured facades look and covering the different courtyards / patios of the building with an ever changing coloured tapestry. Why is this? The glass panels are bonded with rerflective 3M 'Luminous' foile which changes color with the angle of the sun. UNStudio's Ben van Berkel said that as a consequence the courtyards function as a 'kleurenklok' (coulor clock). The windows are bronze toned to participate in the colour play.

Shot into the corner which is reflected in in my previous post . .
The colour play is of course the main attaction of the buidling - but the grey textural play is fab too:-)

In this one I have zoomed in on the modernist geometrics of the facade and not on the space. But through the reflection that space is still to be appreciated here. The personal touch of an office worker (a tax clerk / belastingambtenaar (this part of the building is used as local tax office) is also on display here.
