La Biennale 2010 Zhu Pei instalation

One of most poetic place on Biennale keep quiet just behind the Arsennale... Exactly opposit the entrance to Chinese pavilion, which second time attracts my attention. You can see in my blog by the label Biennale 2008 very interesting composition made before. And now there is the real rest for  someone's eyes, who rich this small and looks like wild garden. It is the cloud sit on the meadow... or transparent hill or just the ghost of hill... Any way it is basilisk... Congratulations to young studio from Bejing!

2010 La Biennale di Venezia

My first and most important impression by this year Biennale is Rem Kolhas. I see him, I look at him, and it seems to me, even watching him you become smart:)))... and understand more about architecture. You understand love architecture inside yourself but not you in architecture. I just had opportunity shake his hands and say my congratulations to Old Dragon of modern architecture! Gold Lion was given him on this Biennale.

On these pictures Rem Kolhas in cofeshop together with his team (I think), and on the presentation his stand.

Mercedes-Benz museum Stutgart

First time I saw so clearly that look of building so much depends on basic idea. This building depends on idea by Mersedes cars. These cars often are like sofa... camfortable and without passion. So and this museum. Perfect in constraction, but too static in impressions... It has a lot of nice joints and details, but does not has one-piece movement.

One more variation, final one?...

Porsche museum

SANAA Rolex Learning Center,Switzerland

Actually it is really something fresh, building where floor is not 2-dimenshions surface, and space breathing little bit up and down...

Calatrava brige in Venice

Venice not accepts something new, really... I expected to see fresh and glamorous brand looks bridge by Calatrava as new pearl of Venice, piece of new age near the gate to ancient town. But just a few days it was opened, it again with scaffolds, dusted and dirty. I can't make pictures from some sides because of crowds of wast near it's stands... Bridge has a lot of fine details, made very accuracy and carefully, except of welding of subconstractions. So, my impressions confused... Not so clear... But it is Calatrava! Help to my mind!:)
