These are more pictures from my field trip. This is another building by Zaha Hadid. It is a restaurant located in a desolate part of Germany. The setting is much different than I imagined from the pictures, but it gives it a very surreal presence. Next door to the restaurant there just happened to be this really really cool artists’ atelier (studio) that was made out of an old farm mill. It was the coolest work setting I have ever seen. There was an installed turn-stile(is that how you spell it?) serving as the entrance and a series of interesting stairs that went above the building to give an incredible view of Zaha’s building plus the rest of the landscape. The picture in the bottom left corner of the ramp that runs on top and past the length of the building is one of the reasons that I have become so ramp crazy in my design lately, just to let you know.
