The MAK

Next to the University for applied Arts Die Angewandte you can find the the Museum of Applied Arts Vienna. Short MAK.


They are displaying there different expositions from ancient clothing to sculptures and art you can find a wide range of objects of different centuries and countries. Also a small architecture section is included: see the Steinhaus by Günther Domenig.

Designed by Ron Arad the "Rotator" is a shower and bathtub combination. The magic moment is when the water inside the tub is splashing out through the slow rotation movement.


Anish Kappor is "shooting into the corner"! His huge sculptures made out of red vaseline and wax are transformed permanently by shooting, scratching and smearing of moving structures applied.

Go East

Time passed by quickly and I'm nearly done over here in vienna planning to go back to Leipzig for finishing my diploma there. For us it always has been a must to visit Bratislava!


We arrived the city by bus comfortably in an easy way. On this sunny but icecold sunday we first took the route through the old city centre.


Shot out of the courtyard of the national gallery.


Other buildings around the Danube river.


Kind of a rooftop extension. The bridge connects the old and the new part of the city.


As a reference for you guys a book that its worth to look at.
East-modern: Architecture and Design of the 1960s and 1970s in Slovakia (Paperback)

Nice pieces of modernist architecture with tons of hints in and around Bratislava.

Caramel Bonboom

Georg who is working for Caramel Architects invited us to one of thier famous (because excessive) office partys. The pictures show how we survived.


Henry and Georg showing their feelings in public the first time. I kept it.


This is Paul. He is wearing nice glasses.


Party people - Phillip and Roman. Seems to me they tried to dance simultaneously.


Inside the elevator we had to take schnaps tickets and listen to breakdance funk.


Simply dudes in action.


Why do I look a bit tired? Why does Georg looks so bright?!
