POSTCARD FROM BULGARIA
Dear ArchitectureWeek,

POSTCARD FROM FRANKFURT
Dear ArchitectureWeek,
This building is a real antidote to a dark, drizzly day. I've been wanting to visit some buildings by Gunter Behnisch for some time, and I'm very pleased to have seen this one — the German postal museum. — Published 2001.0117

POSTCARD FROM VALENCIA
Dear ArchitectureWeek,
Imagine my surprise one evening when, riding along the Pasada de Alameda in Spain, I saw in the distance several buildings that seemed to be almost floating in the dusk. They had to have been designed by Santiago Calatrava! Our guide confirmed this, and the next morning before dawn I hopped into a taxi and headed back to photograph them. — Published 2001.0110

It was installed in the headquarters of The Curtis Publishing Company which had been designed by architect Edgar Seeler in 1910. The mural's fate now hinges on whether it is entitled to the same protections as historic architecture under the strong local historic preservation code. — Published 2000.1018
