Langen Foundation- Tadao Ando___This is me in front of it. this place was great. but you couldnt take pictures inside, so i had to sketch it. Ill let you in on a secret tho, i took one picture anyway. Promise not to tell ;)
Insel Hombroich-Landscape museum-various architects____i probably should have posted a picture of a building, but honestly, im way more impressed by giant fighting robots. They gave us too much time here, so i spent most of it sitting in a cirlce of iron chairs in a clearing in the forest. I felt like King Arthur.
Hahaha...so it happened to be the day of the Cologne marathon. That was a logistical nightmare for the bus driver. We had to walk half way across the city to get to the bus. We also had to cut across the marathon at a really busy corner. Imagine 40 American students cutting across diagonally through a marathon. luckily no one was hurt, tho kate did fall once she made it to the other side. this picture is taken from where we crossed. half the people on the otherside are in my group trying to get over.
Kolumba Museum- Peter Zumthor___This place was cool. i have a lot of neat pictures. I think it was on the cover of arch record last year. Their pictures are better. I accidentally checked my sketchbook in with my backpack, so i have no drawings.
Kolner Dom- Cathedral (1248-1880)___pretty self explanatory. its old. its pretty. i have some moody pictures. Spiderman was also dancing in front of it.

Hahahah spiderman, is there some obsession with him? Oh and btw the fighting iron robots, I think was a much better choice to put up instead of a building. Thats freaken awesome. Oh and I hope you took pictures of your King Arthur's Table.
ReplyDeletenothing beats fighting robots, period.
ReplyDeletei think i'm really absorbing japanese because i read your friend's name "kate" as "kah-tay".
and i just ordered a hand signed copy from tadao ando himself. somehow my professor has correspondence with him and apparently now in his golden years, he has nothing to do but write and sign copies of books to japanese students. i'm not celebrating till i'm holding it next week tho.
