siemensstadt housing, 1929-1931.
architect: hans scharoun, 1893-1972.
this is the long diagonal block which leads you into siemensstadt.
hans scharoun lived in this particular block of flats for thirty years. I can't help but admire architects who live in their own social housing.
scharoun's essays in the international style are highly accomplished and somehow not entirely rationalist. compared with the elegant but dry gropius just down the street, scharoun seems to be on the brink of breaking into a song at every corner...
as of july 2008, a UNESCO world heritage site - you know, like the pyramids...
