The biggest reason I decided to go all the way to Szczecin - this wonderful Philarmonic.

Just a few shots of the minimalistic lobby with its neat spiral staircase and the symphonic hall, also known as the Sun Hall, fully covered in gold leaf.

Best architecture I've seen in Poland so far. Of course there will be many more shots to come.

Most of the times a space without a person in it lacks of life.
I think I should open applications to find someone who can casually walk or stand in the scene I want to capture.

Not so new anymore but it was my first time seeing it.
Best architecture I've seen in a while!
All the buildings are wrapped in an aluminium mesh that feels so light like a piece of fabric.
And the more you look at them the more they almost seem to vanish, it's really an impressive visual effect.

The first is from the town hall, for the others just sneak in the courtyards as soon as you see an open door.

If you look at it, it's such a crazy structure with that fluid carved void.

Within an area full of skyscrapers (designed by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange) you can find this beautiful church in Centro Direzionale di Napoli.

Who would have thought that something like this could be in Napoli! I was positively surprised... although the church was closed 🙁

I've finally made it to see Trulli houses.
They are a traditional Apulian dry stone huts with a conical roof.

And do you know why they were built this way? To make it short, not to pay taxes.
Due to high taxation on property, the people of Apulia built these dry stone wall constructions so that they could be dismantled quickly when tax inspectors were in the area.

Finally after quite some time a piece of architecture that caught me by surprise and really mesmerised me.
It's this incredibly beautiful church in Ferrara designed by studio EMBT lead by Benedetta Tagliabue.

I love the organic and raw feel of the interiors with the raw concrete walls, a stone floor, those large wooden beams salvaged from Ferrara's old town hall.

Did you know this church? Let me know what you think about it!

Tresigallo is among the most fascinating examples of Italian rationalism, part urban utopia, part failed Fascist experiment.
A little known jewel close to Ferrara, well worth checking it out if you're in the area.

What can I do with all these beautiful mosques that I keep stumbling upon 🤷‍♀️

Here is one the best contemporary examples I've seen so far and it's in Ljubljana.

I was lucky enough to get there during praying time so I could see the interior as well.

Do you prefer the exterior or interior?

Who would have known that Rijeka, Croatia, has such a jewel of contemporary architecture for a mosque.

The most interesting fact is that the design was not defined by architects, but by one of the most prominent Croatian sculptor, Dušan Džamonja.
He created a miniature model of the mosque, reflecting his well-known abstract sculptures. Later, the architects Darko Vlahović and Branko Vučinović have undertaken the task to implement this conceptual idea in order to achieve the aesthetics of the project.
