Is really sad, not being able to visit certain buildings. this reminds me of the "Edificio de Usos Multiples II" in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, with few differences. Can you see in the google Images
ReplyDeleteDemolition of the Schocken/Merkur building was probably the most stupid act of Stuttgart municipality. Thanks for the tip, the structure you mentioned is really nice.
