Who hasn't heard about Frank O. Gehry in the last decade? Did you hear about the Bilbao-effect? Did you ever thought about living in a house with outside walls made of titanium or stainless steel? Did you even get to imagine that out of space buildings commonly seen in science fiction movies where able to be realized on earth?

I hope all your anwers were affirmative. He showed us that everything is possible, and he, Frank Owen Gehry, is still creating wonders of "new architecture".

Der neue Zollhof (the new customs courtyard) recalls a sculpture which became frozen somewhere in time during the development of its own movement. Three different, but obviously related buildings, looking like three space ships that landed some undefined time ago, these extraterrestrial "stars", enrich the media district of the capital city of Nordrhein-Westfalen.

The following pictures where taken by Andreas during a trip to Düsseldorf that we made last week.
