Hi Bert, welcome back to Spring, your last post of Lisboa was already warm. Nice, celever and very creative to spot on Spring comeback this way indeed. Thanks for the link, I've just taken a look. I'm unfortunately not cultured enough in architecture to notice the top addition without your remark. But what I can notice, well just my own feeling, is that there is a quite sterile effort in adding curves to the sqaured construction. It seems that there is a real difficulty in creating something else than lines and angles. Something that, IMO, is much more feasible for a Museum than for a living house. Thanks for sharing Spring start that way Bert.

What a great building in functionalis/bauhaus style with typical combination of round and square shapes. I like how the hedge repeats the soft shape of the balcony. Springtime tones of green add an atmosphere of 1930´s. I like the graphic design of the text in the window, too. Very well chosen POV. Thanks a lot of sharing – I´ll add this great shot to my bauhaus/functionalism group theme...

Yo Bert! Pleasant springtime picture, the leaves are nice to look at, I'm really longing for spring. And although it was not really warm this morning yet, the light and the sun are great.
Fine, smooth picture of the Chabot museum, I like this architectural style very much, the beautiful round form of the balcony and the roof, are very nice.
Actually, I still haven't been there, it's about time to go and take a look.
(I think there's again this pinkish cast. Is it me? Or do I have a pinkish feeling. Did spring arrive for me too? ;-)

Dag Bert,
Een gebouw vermoedelijk uit de jaren 20 volgens het bouwstijl, in België zijn er ook enkele in dtit stijl tezien, dat de lente in aantocht is kan men hier al duidelijk zien aan de bladeren, maar dat men het nog op het glas aanbrengt is wel uitzonderlijk, bedankt voor de link en de nota.
Groeten uit Vlaanderen,
John.

Hi Bert,
Ik herkende het meteen. Laatst wilde we naar binnen, maar er werd net een nieuwe tentoonstelling ingericht. Dus toen toch maar naar Boymans. Mooie foto van deze "nieuwe zakelijkheid.
groet Rob

Ik vind hem mooi,
Hier komt toch duidelijk je voorkeur naar boven Bert. De architect. Met in het bijzonder een fijn oog voor details, erg goed werk. Gr. Jaap

Fine capture of this beautiful piece of architecture,Bert!
Good compo with well chosen pov and nice diagonal lines.The trees on both sides "framing it",are a nice detail.
Goed werk!

Great Bauhaus-style architecture in this one, Bert. The typical combination of straight and curved lines makes the building quite appealing, and your compo shows it nicely as it is embedded amidst the early springtime greenery. Nice and crisp detail present all across the frame.

Well made compo of this 'funkis' style building, typical for the periode of late 30's. Clean, simple shot, perfect of the 'style'...

Bonjour Bert!
Such a pleasant architecture picture, also sharp and well framed, could stand in the museum guide.

It makes me want to go out, "het is lente!" and also, toegeter with your excellent note, makes me want to get right to Rotterdam again for discovering the musea this spring. Wish I got more time or occasions to do that more often...

It's a sleek looking building. I really like them. I recently purchased a book of art deco in Detroit that has a whole bunch of homes of which I have so far found 2. The point of view is ecellent for catching both the return of spring and the building. Somehow its sleek lines match the surroundings. And the later addition actually works very well with the older part. The point of view also allows a nice perspective that I think is good for these types of buildings as the lines were playing to that kind of view. There does seem to be a cast as has been mentioned but it could also just be the way the light was at that time of day. But it's certainly well captured architecture.
