| I think Germany is developing steadily,
|
| to become a model of beauty and aesthetics,
|
| For example, just look
|
| On our post-war architecture.
|
| It's so practical and pragmatic,
|
| Every building big and gray and square.
|
| Socialism may have failed
|
| it continues to flow more cheerfully into the architecture.
|
| We only take as building material,
|
| today no longer asbestos but glass concrete and steel,
|
| Material that defies wind and rain in the best possible weather,
|
| and easy to clean in case someone throws up.
|
| We don't need opulent
|
| Houses more like they used to be with stucco and ornaments.
|
| No, a building is ideal today,
|
| if it is nice and cheap arbitrary and banal,
|
| Why refined masonry?
|
| who's going to pay for it, we're way too expensive!
|
| and even if a building really costs money,
|
| you don't see it at all.
|
| Because our architectural style is so heart-refreshing factual,
|
| so simple and completely free,
|
| from any old-fashioned bullshit
|
| like attention to detail.
|
| If in doubt, we'll build a colorful house instead
|
| prefer a panel building
|
| in rich grey
|
| What a feast for the eyes
|
| For this reason it looks so barren in Germany today.
|
| All full of houses that look like a parking garage
|
| or like a hardware store, hence the name Bauhaus.
|
| With one difference, a hardware store doesn't look quite so grey.
|
| After all, looks aren't what it's about.
|
| In Germany it's just about functionality,
|
| For example, if someone threatens to kill himself
|
| If he jumps down from such a high-rise building, he really is dead.
|
| And because we enjoy our hot blocks so much,
|
| we don't get tired of adding new ones everywhere,
|
| Of course, we make sure that
|
| that none of them really fit into the environment.
|
| Like our shopping centers
|
| ha, aren't they beautiful
|
| and how practical
|
| that they actually
|
| all look the same.
|
| That way we'll find something faster in there if
|
| we want to get into a special like ... H&M.
|
| Or office building
|
| with great joy
|
| we are constantly building new klobedelde office buildings.
|
| There is basically nothing what
|
| we need more urgently in Germany than that.
|
| For example in Berlin at the Sprehofer
|
| or in Stuttgart where there is still a train station.
|
| After all, all the companies have to move in somewhere
|
| who are thinking about what to do with all the empty office buildings
|
| should.
|
| Take an example from our architects
|
| from their perky concocted objects,
|
| we will still be standing in a hundred years
|
| and say surprised
|
| oh my god how beautiful.
|
| Very beautiful |
