Located in a former Royal Winter Palace, the works of M. C. Escher in The Hague is something that you cannot miss whenever you visit the seat of government of the Netherlands. You need to visit the Het Paleis for the fantastic artwork presented, but you should stay longer to enjoy the beauty of the building itself.

The Court Pond, known in Dutch as the Hofvijver, is a gorgeous artificial lake in the center of The Hague. The surrounding area is the place where The Hague came to life for the first time, and this is the reason why we decided to spend some time taking pictures on its shores when we visited this great Dutch city back in the winter of 2019.

Today, in 2019, there are still plans to restore parts of it and even open a new pier in the original location. But all these plans were seen to be unrealistic by the West Pier Trust. But you can still go to the beach and sit between the last columns of the pier and watch the burnt down ruins of the West Pier in the distance. They don’t look that far, but, at the same time, they feel like they are a million miles away.

When I arrived at the Aerodynamic Park in Berlin-Adlershof by bike, the first thing I saw was the silver curves of the Big Wind Tunnel, a tubular system that measures between 8 and 12 meters in diameter. This was, also, built between 1932 and 1934 as a part of the German Research Institute of Aviation.

It seems like the Cube House of Rotterdam is stranded above roads and stuck next to the harbor by the strong wind that blows from the sea. But this popular tourist attraction is also a bizarre architectural experiment and this is the main reason why we decided to spend some time there during a cold January afternoon.

Before you arrive at Mariehamn by boat, there is a place you’re going to see. It’s a group of islets that seem to be the first glimpse of land, and even though there is a white pyramid there, this is not part of a fever dream. This is Kobba Klintar, an old pilot station that was used to assist the ships arriving in the capital of the Åland Islands.

The Szczecin Philharmonic is the main reason why Szczecin appeared under my radar. The building is so magnificent and beautiful that it won numerous architectural awards when it was open to the public, back in 2014. One of these awards was the Architectural Design of the Year at Eurobuild Awards 2014.
