A combination of old and new

avatar

For today I have an interesting contrast between old and new architecture on a visit last month in the city of Aarau. The imposing 13th-century tower, built of large stone blocks and located outside the town, has been built and rebuilt at several different times. The new extension has 134 human figures engraved in the approximately 95 x 200 cm slabs made by the St Gallen artist Josef Felix Müller. A modern extension building in combinatio with the tower.

Old architecture always surpasses new in my eye, over done modern ideas age which old simply remains as is, marvels filled with history, talent.

I think the newest extension added a clearer depth to the tower, it's interesting enough that the flat surface area with myriads of human figures stands next to an uneven taller surface. Thanks for sharing :)
