Rene Gages Berlin



Here is a perfect example to say how much we can learn by looking at a postcard.
I bought the one you see at the beginning of this section to, you guessed it, the horizon caught in an orthogonal geometry.
But also for color.
I mean right away which surprised me on this postcard is the bright yellow and red which are organized on these buildings.
And then the huge logo of the German post on yellow painted on a building at the bottom of the image that goes over the road. In
doing research, I quickly fell on a wealth of information on this area of Berlin (because we are Berlin) called this neighborhood Märkisches Viertel.
In fact it is a great urban project of several thousand homes.
But what disturbs me most is to find an architect that we like on this blog: Mr. René Gages.
We owe including the multimodal station Lyon Perrache to .
See my yard right on this page.
But looking through the book on Rene Gages I found an article on this work and some pictures.

It seems to me that here in our retail postcard found one of the buildings of our French architect.


It may also thanks to an article published in Architecture d'Aujourd'hui in April-May 1972 this Märkisches Viertel already feel some doubts.
be found without difficulty, however the name of Rene Gages and we are certain this time that this detail is its design. But curiously the magazine's survey does not give him the floor.

The building directly visible to the right would Ludwig Leo.
