New living in Amsterdam

 

New housing in Amsterdam in the spirit of the old structures of private houses with a narrow front towards the canal. Here different architect made their piece. Nice, but a bit disappointing when you find that the houses are copied and pasted through several blocks on this island.

Meeting Venice

 

A favourite! Coming to Venice by train across the lagoon and leaving the railway station to this open square towards Canal Grande leading into a labyrinth of splendour and mystery.

Drammen - from dust to success

 

Drammen used to be Norway`s dirty city, forgotten in the shadow of the motorway bridge and with a cold river stream dividing it. But after years of consistent work the city is shining again. The focus has been turned towards the river. The motorway-bridge is still there, and doubled in size, but designed to reflect the light to the areas below where also artists have added their work to the public space.
