Highlight Towers

giant.jpgI took  U-6  and decided  to start my weekend training at Alte- Heide.  I was jogging in the district Milbertshofen am Hart. I was very surprised when I saw a sky-scratcher on my way. I have to admit, that there are not so many things, which can divert me, while I’m jogging. However this was one of them. So I stopped… I took a slow walk around to discover the building. It is amazing and effective picture. It is massive and at the same time very elegant. I think it hangs on the fully glazed mirror- facades and sharp corners, which makes this giant look “slim fit”. Only later at home, when I’ve reached the internet, I found out that it is an office building, called Highlight Towers.Taking into account, that Munich for approximately 80% consists of old buildings, there should be many opponents of this building. Candidly my first reaction was the same. But later I found this building very interesting, unusual and even nice… and it is interesting exactly because of the fact, that all other buildings in Munich are classical and not that “screamy”. I love the irregular architecture!
