Urban Reflection: Avian Deterrence
A modern building’s glass facade mirrors the dynamic city life while the white wall, equipped with pigeon spikes, ensures a clean and undisturbed structure. The image appears to show a section of a modern building with a reflective glass facade. Below the glass elements are two white wall ledges adorned with pigeon deterrent spikes to prevent birds from perching and potentially damaging the property. The architectural design cleverly integrates functionality with aesthetics, as the reflection on the glass adds an element of depth and interaction with the surroundings.

Morning Serenity: Rowing in Trieste Harbor
A lone rower glides through the calm waters of Trieste Harbor, with the iconic lighthouse standing sentinel and yachts lining the docks in a quiet morning tableau. In the tranquil morning light, a rower takes to the serene waters of Trieste Harbor, providing a peaceful contrast to the stillness of docked yachts. The lighthouse in the background serves as a historical beacon, while the reflections on the water's surface create a rhythmic pattern that echoes the rower's steady pace.

Reflections of the Lindau Nobel Laureate Pier in the water of a small lake: There is hardly any other place in the world - apart from Stockholm - where so many Nobel Prize-winning scientists regularly meet at the same time as in Lindau. Every summer, the town becomes an international meeting place for science for a week during the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meetings. Since 2019, the Nobel Laureate Footbridge has been a year-round memorial to the Nobel Laureates. The Nobel Laureate Footbridge leads onto the water on the banks of the so-called Kleiner See, at Therese-von-Bayern-Platz next to the Inselhalle. All the Nobel Prize winners who have attended the meetings are immortalized here with their names on their own railing - along with the year the prize was awarded and their first visit to Lake Constance, as well as the respective subject area.

Reflections in the brick-red glass and sheet metal façade of the Lorenzistock at the Alter Hof. The architect of the commercial building is Peter Kulka. The Alter Hof building complex in the old town consists of the Burgstock, Zwingerstock and Lorenzistock buildings and was the residence of the Wittelsbach dynasty from the 13th to the 15th century. It was badly destroyed during the war and rebuilt in a simple style, but still based on the old building. The new outer skin of sheet metal and glass elements was uniformly covered with an irregularly appearing oxide red print. Depending on the time of day and the incidence of light, this abstract, shimmering structure opens or closes with the adjacent red tiled roofs of the old buildings.

Look at this photo. Of course we see the beautiful symmetries, a building façade full of reflections, wonderful refractions of the exterior on the windows, the painterly distorted reflections in the glass. It is no longer just what it used to be, it is now the projection of the things it reflects. The windows are now the eyes that catch every particle of light from the outside world. Munich Re - Berliner Strasse: The complete renewal of the façade of an administration building from the 1980s was used by architects Sauerbruch Hutton as part of a general refurbishment to transform a previously faceless building into an elegant and lively complex. The new envelope provides thermal insulation, sound and sun protection, daylight and natural ventilation for the office spaces.

Reflections in the facade of the ARCOTEL Onyx Hotel near the Reeperbahn in Hamburg. The facade of the hotel captivates with sharp contours and shimmering exterior surfaces. The construction with a glass curtain wall is reminiscent of the crystal Onyx. The contours mimic the sharp edges of a crystal. Glass elements and vacuum panels were combined as flush window structures. The square windows with circular gradient print on the edge were integrated flush with the façade structure. At night, the internally illuminated transparent surfaces act as spotlights directed at the building structure. The glass facade was screen-printed with a special ink. The rear glasses are enameled.

Reflections of a modern house in windows of the building opposite. In the foreground a delimiting wall construction.
When walking to a lake in Tutzing my eyes wandered the landscape, and my mind drifted into trains of thoughts. An interesting new apartment building with a massive fence in front caught my eyes. I wondered: Is living in a big, stylish, modern apartment really different from my living in a modest nest by the Gautinger woods, where I can always see through my windows vast stripes of trees? What would the people there see every day? Of course, they see things through their eyes. The eyes, in turn, see things through the windows. The windows become the eyes. If we look closer, really closer, we see what others see in the reflection of the world IN their eyes. Sometimes darker. Sometimes rosier. Sometimes obstructed by a wall, physical or mental. Beautiful. Distorted: The Eyes of concrete bodies

The facade becomes a canvas for the sky, its windows reflecting the changing moods of the clouds. The architecture skilfully plays with the elements as the windows of this building capture the ephemeral beauty of the sky. Each pane tells a different story, some clear, some cloudy, reflecting the ever-changing interplay of weather and light. This visual symphony of reflections harmonises with the robust, earthy presence of the wooden fence in the foreground, creating a juxtaposition of the vastness of nature with man-made order.
