Box or work of art? Encounter with new architecture (guided tour)

It doesn't always have to be turrets and bay windows. Concrete in modern forms also has its justification and appeal. Even if, unlike the cathedral and Art Nouveau, it is more of a love at second sight. The old town, which is wrongly reduced to its historic buildings alone, has much more to offer. Even seemingly old facades turn out to be mere scenery on closer inspection. On this tour, some illusions are dispelled, but attention is also drawn to exciting breaks in the cityscape. Many an unloved "box" stands in our way, seemingly inconsequential and out of place. But what were the architects thinking? How does the building relate to its historical surroundings? And how does it actually offend? - Registration required.
