Hamburg – Überseequartier Wer "HafenCity" sagt, muss auch "Überseequartier" sagen. Die jungfräuliche U-Bahn-Station "Überseequartier" ist die drittletzte Station der Linie U4 und liegt zudem in einem Gebiet, das erst bebaut wird. Man hat also (noch) grosse Chancen, ungestört Bilder zu machen. :-) Es ist auch nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis sie ihre Jungfräulichkeit verliert und mit Werbung zugepflastert wird. ➽ U-Bahn Linie 4 ➽ PIP 1: Metroplan. ➽ PIP 2: Stationsbezeichnung.

It is located next to the river in an area being redeveloped since the early 2000s. The tower will be flanked by two four story podium buildings also designed by César Pelli . The curved edges of the podium buildings will define a plaza that opens on the north and south and narrows at the center, creating a pedestrian-scaled commercial street.

St. Gallen, Switzerland – Schreinergasse Stadtlounge by Pipilotti Rist & Carlos Martinez (2005). The Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist and the architect Carlos Martinez designed the city lounge as a public "living room" dipped in red, which is laid over the entire area like a carpet. The floor covering of red-dyed plastic granules encases the floor area and the public furnishing such as seatings, sculptures and a fountains. With an area of 4'600 m2, the lounge composes all the squares and rest areas of the area into an optically uniform whole. => Wikipedia, deutsch => Focus online (47.42138, 09.37355); [60°]
