A friend of mine, who used to study at Leuphana Universität of Lüneburg just outside Hamburg, suggested me to pay a visit to its campus when I travelled to Hamburg London last fall. The main Zentralgebäude building, completed in 2017, was designed by Daniel Libeskind. It is in the same style as Libeskind's 2007 addition to Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum (ROM). I couldn't have waited to see it, and it surely didn't disappoint me.
Thank you, T, for your recommendation.
When I visited Hamburg in 2014, Herzog & de Meuron's Elbphilharmonie was still under construction. Last September marked my first visit to this magnificent concert hall since its completion in 2017.
Although I have visited Berlin many times over the years, this is only my first time visiting Le Corbusier's 1958 Unité d'Habitation during my stay in Berlin last fall. It's a pity I didn't get a chance to see its interior though.
