warning - all architectural references basically in this post (a warning for brandon) A much cloudier day in Stuttgart made for unpretty pictures at an amazing architecture site - the Wiessenhoff developement - worker housing from the 20's by all sorts of big names - an (ugly as hell Best-Western looking oops did i say that cause it maybe would have been revolutionary back then) apartment complex by Mr. Mies, 2 Corbusier houses, Oud, architecture history pics coming to life one right after the other, very nicely restored. Tres cool. Didn't get to go in any, they neglect to mention the summer-only admittance anywhere, pout. To the Staatsgalerie, a really post-modern building housing some decent collections, Egon Schiele paintings! for the first time in real life, very energetic. not necessarily pretty, at all, he really lets his psychosis pour out, but very intense. a cityscape really grabbed me, would be fun to see more non-people paintings by him. the people get hard to look at. a picture of the building had been hanging in my english classroom in concordia, random little connections. really an eighties building, colors and themes, beautiful stone though and fun use of GREEN! flooring that bent the light in fun ways.
