You only see what you know (Goethe)
In this building, the Belgian architect Henry van de Velde lived from 1908 to 1917. House and furnishings were designed by himself. Allegedly, the layout of the building is designed like a ship. Together with the mast on the roadside, my pic reminds to an upside-down boat, at least. [German]
This building, designed by Henry van de Velde, saw its completion in 1911. At that time, it housed the sculptors’ studios at the Grand Ducal Saxon Art School. Today, it forms the main building of the Bauhaus University and is considered a World Heritage Site.
The memorial site to Ernst Abbe reminded me more of a temple than a simple monument. A look through the glass door increased the impression. The dainty image of the industrialist and social reformer Ernst Abbe rested on a massive herm. [German]
