Construction Area 1

On one of my first photos I posted on this blog, Simon from Talinn Daily Photo commented that he lived in Wiesbaden in the seventies and remembers the then ultra-modern pedestrian precincts well.

There are still a lot of areas that probably haven't changed much since. This is one of the buildings right at the beginning of the pedestrian and shopping area. They started to dismantle it to build a new shopping center there - the future Luisen-Center.

Here you can see all the layers of the facade - first they used little mosaics in between the windows, then they covered the whole building with metal blends and to make it somehow more "interesting looking" they added some sort of a framework on top...

Although it's just a construction area, it still has a story to tell...
