DÄNEMARK
Traveling through Denmark just for a short week, starting in southern Jutland / North Sea where the weather was rather rough and stormy, continuing to the island Fyn / Baltic Sea where it actually was still stormy. Denmark is a very travel friendly country with a lot of nice spots to stay even with your car. I liked the beautiful northern landscape and small villages with traditional farmerhouses and restrained coloured houses (preffered in ochre and red), also some bricks houses. And of course the natural sense for good design & clear lines. The Danes seem to love roses and hollyhocks, as there were flowers everywhere in the streets in front of the houses. We’ll defenitely be coming back to visit Copenhagen and some more of this beautiful country.
LISBOA Chiado & Baixa
Da schlendert man durch die lissaboner Innenstadt und steht plötzlich vor diesem alten, Jugendstilaufzug “Santa Justa” der den Stadtteil Baixa mit dem höherliegenden Stadtteil Chiado verbindet. Wahnsinn! Man könnte fast meinen die Außerirrdischen sind gelandet.. In Baixa befindet sich ebenfalls die Metro-Station São Bento von dem portugiesischen Architekten Álvaro Siza Vieira sowie die “Terazzos”. Bei Porto haben wir uns auch seine in Felsen gebaute “Piscinas de Marés” angeschaut, in Porto selbt die von ihm gebaute Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto.
