modern frankfurt
Frankfurt is a city with a mixture of modern and historic buildings woven into the urban fabric. Pummelled by WW2 the city has re birthed with modern architectural buildings of a very high standard of design.
Below are images of some of these buildings I stumbled upon last week, including Studio Fuksas designed, My Zeil shopping mall and it's stunning amorphic glass spine.
Massimiliano Fuksas is a Roman architect also famous for the New Trade Fair building in Milano.
Check out their website;

Saint Exupery Airport, France
Santiago Calatrava, is an amazing structural engineer/architect. His designs are true creations of beauty that are more like pieces of art than structural solutions.
I stumbled on this building on my travels from Lyon to London this morning.
I wish I had longer to dwell in the beauty of Calatrava's magic.
