Gruner & Jahr publishing house Modern office block at the harbour

Baumwall 11 Hamburg, Hamburg 20459 +49 (0)40 3 7030 http://www.guj.de/

In the late 1980s, this publishing house was built right next to Hamburg's port. It certainly is one of city's most spectacular pieces of recent architecture. The architects Steidle and Kiessler used lots of glass and zinc for the facades, as well as decorative elements which conjure up an association with the city's maritime history. The part of the building facing the water seems to have ship's windows and railings. Despite the futuristic design, it actually reminds you of a ship's pontoon bridge. Review © 2009, Wcities
