The most beautiful mall I've seen: An architectural folly!
Tuesday, March 31, when I woke up I saw that was a very nice time and I had nothing planned.
So I took the train to Frankfurt at about 9:30, just to find some houses and going to the museum of architecture where there is an exhibition of Gordon Watkinson, who has photographed buildings in the Bauhaus (I speak soon).
I found it necessary to get into the Main Tower where you can see Frankfort at 190 meters high in order to change their views because I felt very small at the feet of buildings ...
Part of Frankfort served at 190m high.
From here you can see the station with its roofs "half-cylindrical.
In this case I feel small and the mass is to fulfill my image and pushes me to look up ....
lunch between two sandwiches and a beer, I headed to the streets full of shops and there in the distance I saw a hole ....
... a facade that seems to suck the outside to the large gallery with a glass structure triangulation (I do not know how you call this kind of structure) of metal.
soon as I saw this as I rushed in and I was right! Who is the architect who is mad at the base of this creation? Who is the sponsor? The city of Frankfurt? Anyway I am glad that it is possible that an architect can be expressed as: (the following is not mine but if the images!)

This ripple glass you vaguely remember something? Perhaps the Fair of Milan (Italy) with its covered street, on 1500 meters, by a wave of triangular glass panels forming a tortuous terrain.
The correct answer is not so away. In reality, this is the mall
MyZeil opened February 26 in Frankfurt am Main (Germany), whose architect is the Italian Massimiliano Fuksas
. must confess that in 2004 in his office, the projects evolved in parallel: Milan-phase project, Frankfurt-phase study. On the other side of the Alps, a common architectural element: the skylight, generated by a depression of the glass surface which houses the weather.
Escalator 47 meters:
Trade Center Frankfurt, jointly developed by MAB Development and Meyer Bergman, borders the Zeil, a busy thoroughfare sector Palais Quartier. Since its opening, more than a million people walked the shops (over 80), restaurants, cinema, fitness center and recreational space for children who are spread over four floors of retail space (77000 m2 total area). A non-supported escalator inside of 47 feet, "the longest in Germany," connects the levels zero to over four in "approximately 120 seconds. "Once inside the structure to the fluid forms, visitors never stop," said Massimiliano Fuksas
. Milena Chessa Source THE MONITEUR.FR Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas has delivered last February in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) a mall
77,000 m2 , sheltered from the elements by a wave of glass that the vortices are well light.
The facade of the front sweeps inwards and also forms the roof.
Only fun.
