| Synopsis: |
Das in Downtown Chicago gelegene Federal Center wurde von Mies 1959-64 errichtet: ein 30-stockiges und ein 42-stockiges Hochhaus sowie der Flachbau fur das Postamt. Mies konnte bei diesem Grossauftrag Stahl, sein bevorzugtes Material, vollumfanglich einsetzen. Diese drei unterschiedlichen Volumen bilden einen dynamischen Stadtraum. Auf der dadurch geformten eindrucklichen Plaza wirkt Alexander Calders Stahlplastik Flamingo als der perfekte Abschluss. Werner Blaser bringt die offensichtlichen und verborgenen strukturellen und asthetischen Qualitaten dieses Werks durch einfuhlsame Duotone-Aufnahmen voll zur Geltung. |
