Together with the older buildings nearby, the small new building creates an open courtyard, and towards the street, a low concrete wall makes just enough space for a small beer garden under a large old tree. Here, the building shows what is its strongest facade visually, largely closed and made of exposed concrete It looks like a scissor-cut silhouette or a graphical icon for an industrial building on a traffic sign a very clear form that can be understood in a second To prevent the building from becoming just a touch too austere or hermetic the architects cut an extra-large round window in the wall and painted the metal door in a light pastel green that subtly connects to the mild green of the industrial glass that covers almost the entire northern facade This generous glass surface soaks the inner space in subdued daylight while at night it also turns the building into a glowing object almost like an oversized lantern for this underprivileged area if the beer that’s brewed here doesn’t attract enough guests the building itself is strong enough to find a new use without losing any of its persuasive powers Would you like to comment on this article?

walked this path with us which for us is one of the biggest German global brands We have a plan and we are determined to implement it.” According to Auto Motor Sport an agreement to transfer the brand and distribution rights was completed in June 2024 the IG Metall trade union was completely surprised and is reportedly puzzled by the management's behavior In addition to its aftermarket offerings, BBS has supplied wheels to numerous automakers over the years including Porsche, BMW, Mercedes-Benz death and a midlife crisis.’ playing with the architectural aspect of the 450-year-old columns found

Architects Award” selected 8 projects to receive gold, including the Brewery Hall Kirchheim unter Teck project by German firm Mehr* Architekten for the brewery hall for the start-up Braurevolution the finer details of the project are equally convincing such as the production and storage facilities the building echoes the features of major industrial buildings As the founders of the firm—David Brodbeck Jens Rössler and Florian van het Hekke founded—are most proud of their conceptual approach which involves the meticulous analysis of culture history and context in order to find a specific solution for the location and task; it’s not a surprise they’d take inspiration from the above-mentioned works The three came together under one roof with the idea of merging experiences and professions into a think tank The brewery project exemplifies their combined efforts The simple volume of the brewery with a gable roof is given its distinctive character by an attached light band

For his current show at the Städtische Galerie Kornhaus in Kirchheim unter Teck he “knotted” one of the museum’s 450-year-old pillars “I’m glad they let us cast one of their columns but they probably shouldn’t have,” he says Likewise logic-bending is Onwards & Upwards an in-process public installation of five redbrick chimneys in Sheffield and Rotherham Each will be somehow manipulated: One will be separated nearly in half Considering the chimneys’ 75,000 locally produced bricks, the project is no small feat.

The medieval old town of Kirchheim near Stuttgart is substantially characterized by its small-scale edificial structure. At the heart of Kirchheim, the “Gasthof Waldhorn” — a run-down ancient inn — has now been demolished. Both the applicable building regulations with the city’s particular “Old Town Statute” as well as the city council with its designated architectural advisory board give little leeway to subsequent construction. Based on that, the distinctive urbanistic footprint of the “Gasthof Waldhorn” was to be mimicked. At the same time, the city and its advisory board called for a contemporary new building that was to adequately approach both the aspect of timber framing and the town’s small-scale urbanistic structure. © Sebastian SchelsFrom outside, the silhouette and the materiality of the new edifice appear similar to those of its predecessor and feature a dark tiled roof, walls finished with pale plaster as well as the visible wooden structure of the upward-stepping gable of the market-facing facade. In contrast to the historical neighbouring buildings close-by, the surface colouring may be more homogeneous. SectionThe interior of the building is dominated by its architecture and simple materiality. The edifice sits on a massive foundation – made up of the basement with several secondary rooms and the wine cellar – that carries the ground floor – with dining area, kitchen and bar – which is again followed upwards by the wooden roof. Thanks to the visible wooden beam ceiling, this transition from heavy, massive structural elements to woodwork can already be divined in the dining area. © Sebastian SchelsIn the attic, too, all elements of the wooden roof truss are still visible while the complexity of the crooked roof that sits on the contorted outline of the former building can only just be assumed. The function hall itself opens up to the entrance with five generous windows in the facade, offering views on the bustling Kirchheim market and providing insights into the wooden interior of the attic from outside. © Sebastian SchelsThe building’s interior is further characterized by lasting natural materials. Among these are the large oakwood floorboards in the dining rooms, the downstairs stone floors, the plastered wall surfaces, the wooden windows and the visible elements of the timber structure. © Sebastian SchelsEven the interior fittings follow this specific material concept with old and new solid wood furniture completing the picture With only one year of construction time and in a planning process that involved the constructor the city council with its architectural advisory board as well as the interested and committed citizenry a new urbanistic brick was layed in Kirchheim’s historical ensemble You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Archbishop Makarios of Australia received a group of Orthodox faithful from Germany specifically from the state of Baden-Württemberg at the headquarters of the Holy Archdiocese of Sydney The group was led by clergymen Sosipatros Savvidis Methodios and Cyril in Kirchheim unter Teck and St James the Brother of the Lord in Mühlacker Archbishop Makarios warmly welcomed the visitors and gave them a tour of the Holy Cathedral of the Annunciation of the Theotokos where he shared insights into its history and recent renovations He then received them in the Archbishop’s Office where they had a fruitful discussion about the life of the Church and the Greek Diaspora in both Australia and Germany after exchanging greetings for Christmas and the Holy Twelve Days the Archbishop presented all the visitors with commemorative coins from the special series issued by the Holy Archdiocese of Australia on the occasion of its Centennial He also asked the two clergy to convey his fraternal greetings to Metropolitan Augustine of Germany The Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate approved on October 4th the canonization of Eldress Sophia Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew traveled by air to Antalya the Patriarchate of Jerusalem solemnly celebrated the Sunday of the Myrrh-Bearing Women...
