The Fläkt building (built in 1973) is a remarkable building featuring three cylindrical cores connected by a triangular core. The lay-out of the floor plan is extremely efficient, short connections from stairs and elevators to offices and between office clusters. The 3-flight stairs are placed such that the tenants would be tempted to use stairs rather then the elevators, a strategy that now has become mainstream as to enhance people’s mobility and hence their health. The interplay of shafts, sanitary units, elevators, stairs and fire resistant doors on electromagnets is absolutely brilliant. The facade is clad in 6 mm thick bent aluminum plates, is effectively acting as a solar radiation shield, in combination with relatively small windows – yet providing for a generous panoramic view – reducing the incoming heat drastically. The energy performance of the Fläkt Building was unheard of in 1973. The Fläkt Building is well on its way to become a modern monument, 6 years to go before it has reached the monumental age of 50, which is the criterium in The Netherlands before a building might be declared a modern monument. The painful side of the story is that the Fläkt Building is no longer in use since years because its location in a rather desolate industrial area is no longer a desired one, meaning that the building is in real danger of being demolished.

During my lunch break I sometimes MUST shoot an image. During the limited time and in the rather boring environment around my work it's not easy to find interesting images. I have I succeeded with this one. Notice the good performance of the humble Panasonic pancake zoom lens I used. Please view large.

Near my work a Novotel Hotel is being constructed. Not exactly an architect's dream but with the bright winter weather I couldn't resist the opportunity to shoot some images. Olympus E-M10 + Olympus 25mm f1.8 1. 2. 3.
