gneisenaustraße // köln nippes

architect: paul georg hopmann

completion: 1974

this brutalist gem, which houses a kindergarten and a community centre, is located in the heart of cologne's nippes district. the striking façade design of pure concrete and red window and door frames, as well as the fragmented structure, make the building a real eye-catcher. the red colouring also extends to the railings, letterboxes and service openings, contributing to the coherent overall impression.

dieses brutalistische kleinod, welches einen kindergarten und ein gemeindezentrum beherbergt, befindet sich mitten in köln nippes. die bemerkenswerte fassadengestaltung von purem beton und roten fenster- und türrahmungen sowie die zergliederte struktur machen das bauwerk zu einem echten hingucker. die rote farbgestaltung erstreckt sich außerdem auf geländer, briefkästen und versorgungsöffnungen, so dass dies zum schlüssigen gesamteindruck beiträgt.

I’m studying international law in college and finished in the summer a class about genocide. My autism will NOT allow me to shut up about the horrors of mankind so I know if I were in Yuu’s place I would be constantly disturbing those around me.

Riddle and Azul would find the issues with the legal system fascinating though. Everybody would be confused on why I would want to go back.

I can't tell you how many times I think about the actual political/historical world of twisted wonderland. I want to understand everything about it. I would live in trein's classroom. bc if lilia's dream in book 7 is any indication, this world is just as fucked as ours, we/yuu just hasn't learned the full extent of that yet. I wanna knowww

köln ist für den aufmerksamen spaziergänger ein füllhorn an nachkriegsmodernen türen mit außergewöhnlichem design.
