Simplicity of modern design - Garden Expo in Stuttgart

Last weekend I was at the Garden Expo in Stuttgart. It disappointed me a little bit, but at least I had a chance to see Rothauspark, open only for Expo Visitors.
It is 28.000 m² of a green space extended between the exhibition halls. I admired the simple modern design of Stuttgart Exhibition Centre.

This up-to-date style of this place inspired me to searched in my surrounding a simple, plain structures. That is my result.

Two Victorias in one Berlin

Yesterday I was in Victoria Park. It opened in 1894. This park was in honour of Princess Victoria of Great Britain and Ireland, the eldest child of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom and Prince Albert.

I really like all this wildness in the middle of a big city.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other Victoria, which gave a name to another green public space in Berlin, was Princess Viktoria Luise of Prussia, the daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany, and Great-Grand daughter of Queen Victoria. This time wasn't that a park but a square. Viktoria-Luise-Platz.

The Princess with her husband  and five children in the Sanssouci Park.

This little square was laid out in 1900, so my interest is quite big. I hope to find there a bit of an influence of secession.
