the fernsehturm, berlin

the lift inside this is very fast, and it was a bit high for me, i cant do heights, but the views are wonderful...and it is a great building

I love the angles here. WHen they flew helicopters over for the first time, there was this gaping, weeping new structure that was post-modern sculputre gone apeshit on acid - touchingly beautiful.

Anthony, the Pierre Koenig case study house is a private residence. I don't think people can visit it.

The GAR building in Detroit (it's in the video for "Loose Yourself"). It's a real life castle built in the 1920s by the Daughters of the American Revolution. It's right in the middle of downtown and has been abandoned for over a decade. If I had a lot of money I would buy it and have everyone I know live there.

― Aaron W, Monday, 16 December 2002 19:12 (twenty-one years ago) link

hey wasnt that GAR building used in that film about the recluse author (Sean Connery) and the black youth who learns from him how to write proper after trying to squat in Seany's shack? or something

I should have explained in my earlier posting - this is Bridgewick Pumping Station (built 1950), on the Dengie peninsula, Essex.

Hmmmm... I don't think so. Was that Finding Forrester? IMDB sez that took place in NY. But I never saw it.

Sure it wasn't the Flatiron Building (which, well, is another fav)...

I love modern architecture but I'm also a sucker for the classics. It's really something to walk around the coloseum and think of all the people and beasts that have walked before. Plus think of what it took to plan and construct!

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 16 December 2002 19:56 (twenty-one years ago) link

Jonathan I spent 20 hours a week shelving bound periodicals in the "Sci Li". Wish I'd been around for the Tetris game you picture there.

I see the wind that moves the clouds away.
It moves the clouds over by the building.
I pick the building that I want to live in.

My building has every convenience.
It's gonna make life easy for me.
