eclectic imaging (redux)
Nowadays investors are doing everything to spend excess money on useless things. This is only a small part of Düsseldorf's local court site that is going to be transformed into a habitat for wealthy people. I have to admit that I'm lacking imagination how it feels living in a court building, but I'm sure many people are going to find out. You can find its imposing facade here: just imagine this is the entrance of your home.
This is just one of Düsseldorf's many, many, many construction site. Historic ground, by the way: archaeologists have found many interesting things from the Middle Ages at this site.
My (old) coffee-table book of selected postings.

@Mariana Maoduš: Thanks a lot, Mariana!
@Steven: That whole building is more palace-like. A hotel might perhaps work, I'm really curious what kind of people will live there one day, if any.
@Abena: Thanks! (The area is rather large, so taking this shot with a 50mm lens was no big deal.) The church is St. Lambertus, see here for an interior shot.
@franz: Zumindest die Fassade steht unter Denkmalschutz. Da Architekten und Stadtplanern ja meist nicht viel mehr einfällt als Glasfassaden, ist deren Erhalt prinzipiell schon mal gut. Allerdings kann ich mir nicht vorstellen, wie man in diesem palastartigen Bau wohnen soll. Bin mal gespannt, wer da in ein paar Jahren so ein- und ausgeht. In Köln gibt es mit dem ehemaligen Gerling-Komplex ein ähnliches Vorhaben. Ziemlich irre!
