The twist of the building is for a purpose. The architect wanted to capture more light and to shadow the neighborhood lesser. In addition, it is an eye-catcher and beautifully located in a newly created park.

Heaven On Earth
It is a bicycle ride of about one hour from my home to where the people from Waltrop enjoy what they have: A little harbour at the Dortmund-Ems Canal and a place to sit and relax.
Estació del Nord
The North Station (Spanish: Estación del Norte, Valencian: Estació del Nord) is the major railway station in Valencia, Spain. It is located in the city centre next to the Plaza de Toros de Valencia, the city’s bullring, and 200m from the town hall.
The building is one of the main works of the Valencian Art Nouveau and was declared Good of Cultural Heritage in 1987.
Museu de les Ciències
The Museu de les Ciències Príncipe Felipe is an interactive science museum. The diversity of interactive exhibitions and the numerous outreach activities that have been carried out at the Museum have culminated in an important success among the public, which has undoubtedly responded warmly to the proposal to disseminate science and technology through fun and entertainment, but without renouncing the minimum scientific rigor necessary when addressing the topics covered.
The building designed by Sebastiao Calatrava resembles the skeleton of a whale. – In the background you see the Pont de l’Assut de l’Or and the L’Àgora, both are designed by Sebastiao Calatrava too.
L’Hemisfèric
Sebastiao Calatrava conceived the building as an oversized human eye – the Eye of Wisdom, intended to symbolize the audiovisual experience of visitors watching the performances. The 100-meter-long oval roof houses a 3D IMAX theater and the surrounding Carl Sagan Perimeter Ring, named in honor of the American physicist.
Palau De Les Arts
Millions of tiles reflect the light that shines on the surface of this sculpture that is an opera house. It is dedicated to Queen Sophia of Spain. Sebastiao Calatrava created a large ensemble that is an investment in Valencia’s reputation as a city of arts and science.
Eerily Beautiful
A coking plant and a steelworks in Duisburg on the Rhine exhaust a lot of fumes and steam. If you take a longer walk to the banks of the river you can watch this spectacular vista.
Golden times
Antwerp became a very rich community in the 16th century and these rich residents showed off their wealth. These guild houses are beautifully lit in the evening. Through intensive post-editing, I brought out these golden times even more clearly.
Not just a bridge
The Park Bridge provides a connection on foot or by bike between Park Spoor Noord and various new construction projects on Kop Spoor Nord with the Scheldt quays and the entire Eilandje.
Marina Rünthe in Bergkamen
The Marina Rünthe is a marina on the Datteln-Hamm Canal in Bergkamen. The port was built in 1939 as a loading port for the Werne colliery. After the mine was closed, Klöckner Bergbau Königsborn-Werne AG continued to use the port as a works port, handling hard coal, building materials, grain and mineral oils. In 1995, the conversion for the leisure area took place and the area was prepared as a marina.
