The connection of the K20 building (part of the Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen; a museum of modern art in the 20th century) and a flanking old building.
I could write something about the suspense-packed dialogue between the different buildings; the continuation and non-continuation of traditional forms; the courageous move away from traditional architecture; the triumph of the modern solitary building.
But I'm a bourgeois, but not upper-class boy and contaminated with the pop cultural waste of the last decades. So, and I'm dead serious here, don't you think this combination of buildings resembles the Black Citadel in Valve's video game Half-Life 2?
