The "Shell-Haus", located at Berlin-Tiergarten.
This masterpiece of architect Emil Fahrenkamp was built 1930-32!
The simple graceful forms are stylistically reminiscent of the German modern realist movement "New Objectivity". The main facade jumps forward in six gentle waves, whilst at the same time increasing in height from six levels to ten.

The MARTa Museum for contemporary art, located at Herford, Germany.
Architect: Frank Gehry
Built: 2005
With its flowing, tilting walls, the Marta is one of the most unusual museum buildings in the world. The flowing dynamic of the forms resonates in the loose bond of the bricks on the ground, and the wavy roof landscape reflects the adjacent course of the River Aa. This continues inside the museum: as a dynamic volume of space which is practically choreographed, the architecture transforms every exhibition into a unique spatial experience.
