Uniquely designed cube-shaped houses in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Designed by architect Piet Blom, they are tilted at 45 degrees and set upon hexagon-shaped pylons, creating a visually striking architectural effect. The buildings have bright yellow and blue facades and are surrounded by people and plants in the foreground.

Vitra Design Museum Series Pt. 3,
25.2.2025

-> Pt 1: https://pixelfed.social/p/mustamakkara/807213396653065407

-> Pt2: https://pixelfed.social/p/mustamakkara/807284214961968944

Moving away from the design museum, soon the Vitra Slide Tower by Carsten Höller comes into sight. Unfortunately, at the time of the visit, it was closed.
(I assume everybody who was there took this shot as well.. ;-) )

The Viennese architects coophimmelb(l)au were commissioned to build the new Musée des Confluence. coophimmelb(l)au designed a UFO that hovers like a silvery cloud over the mouth of the Saône and Rhône rivers. This daring landmark architecture - similar to the Elbphilharmonie concert hall in Hamburg or the capital's airport in Berlin - turned out to be a spectacular multi-million-dollar disaster. But the image gain quickly outweighed these disadvantages. Access to the museum is via a beautiful park along the banks of the Saône, which invites visitors to take a relaxing stroll. #architektur #architekturfotografie #architecture #architecturephotography #modernarchitecture #bnw #urban #urbanism #urbanphotography #lyon #france #museum
The most spectacular residential building in Lyon #Confluence is certainly the Tour Ycone, the filigree residential tower by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel. With its soft colors and blurred, almost indistinct silhouette, the Tour Ycone nestles into the post-industrial urban landscape between the #Rhône and #Saône rivers. The tower appears to be loosely assembled from fragile scaffolding and rectangular frames. It looks as if a light breeze could bring this upwardly divergent house of cards crashing down. But a perforated, loosely attached roof forces the airy shape of the tower into a solid form.
