architect

Monday, 26th of August 2019
The cafe at work, the room for breaks.
A bright large room with floor to cieling
windows, at all around.
on three sides of the
room. This
makes the space
bright, still, lights are on-
For
some reason, the architect covered the whole
structure in a thick roof, held up by massive concrete beams. A nonsensical structure, a heavy depressing weight over everybody who& inside. There is no upper floor, but looking at the structure.
there could be a skyscraper on top.
A short distance away, there is another such café, but this is on the ground floor of a seven storey building. This cafe and rest area is light and tall,
the doors and windows open onto a patio, there is no sense of the enormous pressure of the building on top.
The difference is made by the
architect.
And a time difference of some
fifty years.
