hemicycle // luxembourg kirchberg

architect: pierre bohler

completion: 1979

the hemicycle on the kirchberg plateau is an incredibly futuristic building that is somewhat hidden in the middle of the kirchberg forest. it looks like a film set for a dystopian film, so overgrown and lonely it stands on the road. fun fact: the european parliament, for which the building was originally built, only met four times in this building.

das hemicycle auf dem kirchbergplateau ist ein unglaublich schönes futuristisches Gebäude welches sich aber etwas versteckt mitten im wald des kirchberges befindet. es wirkt wie eine Kulisse für einen dystropischen film, so eingewachsen und einsam es an der straße steht. fun-fact ist das, das europäische parlament, für welches das gebäude ursprünglich gebaut wurde, nur viermal in diesem tagte.

Interior Visions: Great American Designers and the Showcase House (1988)

I realized today that the reason I just fucking love postmodern architecture (and PoMo style as a whole) is because of

Nickelodeon

Going to a middle school with a distinctly PoMo design*

*Like, it had the foursquare windows and giant columns and glass walls and weird proportions and everything

So that explains that.

berrenrather straße // köln sülz

somehow this building is a mixture of post-war modernism and post-modernism, but that is precisely what makes it so interesting at this intersection, which it dominates with its mass and height.

dieses gebäude eine mischung aus nachkriegsmoderne und postmoderne, wirkt gerade dadurch interessant das es alles mischt. und natürlich durch seinen mächtigen baukörper der die straßenkreuzung beherrscht an dem es sich befindet.
