Text in English and German. The building for the Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung is near the city centre by the commercial harbour. What is striking is the unusual façade: a pattern is made with glazed tiles in white, grey and black, seeming more regular than it actually is.

Gert Kähler, a critic and architectural historian is the author of several specialist books on architecture.

Christian Richters studied communication design at the Institut für Architekturgeschichte und Architekturtheorie at the Bergische Universität in Wuppertal. Christian Richters studied communication design at the Folkwangschule in Essen. He is one of the most sought-after architecture photographers in Europe. To date he has been represented in the Opus series by nine volumes, including ones about the embassies of the Nordic countries and the Bode Museum in Berlin, the Nieuwe Luxor Theater in Rotterdam and the BMW Welt in Munich.
