The lignite waste soil tip and power stations near Grevenbroich seen from about 40km away. The size of these human-made landscapes is truly impressive.

TU Darmstadt kept with the spirit of modern architecture when it renovated the Audimax building a couple of years ago - I quite like it.

Erkrath-Hochdahl, Am Stadtweiher, built ca. 1970. Roaming through the town where I grew up, which is a “New Town” built between the 1960s and 1990s, I started getting interested in the small design details of 1960s/70s large scale housing developments like the one at “Am Stadtweiher”. Has anybody ever bothered to document such details? I hope so, because these are the little things that usually get lost in the course of redevelopment.
