Overview of your Dsseldorf tour:

The Media Harbor is one of the first industrial harbors which has been converted into office buildings and cool restaurants. There is no other place on earth where there are as many buildings by star architects as in Düsseldorf within 10 minutes walking distance. Among them three (!) Pritzker Prize award winners - the Nobel prize for architecture: Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, Fumihiko Maki. I will make sure the landmark buildings "talk" to you: I will guide you to discover architectural treasures in their facades, outlines and the building material - and they will tell stories about water and waves, boats with their bows, railings, sails and gangways, radars, cranes and containers - all things which are connected to the "port" topic. And in the end you will agree: Architecture is fascinating!

Your Dsseldorf tour itinerary

"Must sees": - Starting in the Media Harbour we will find the dancing buildings by Frank O. Gehry connecting Düsseldorf to the Bilbao effect. - Renzo Pianos "The Float", colourful "Colorium" by Bill Alsop, - The "City Gate" (Stadttor) by Petzinka-Pink and the Rhine tower (TV tower) are exceptional landmark buildings. - AfterI will show you works by Steven Hall, Fumihiko Maki and the upcoming architects' cabinet SOP (e. g. the Trivago headquarters). On our way we will discover architectural secrets like a liftable staircase or an echo point. A visit up the Rhinetower (TV tower) is optional but can be included in this tour. (additional cost for entrance ticket) If you happen to be hungry you will find very good restaurants and the best Currywurst (sausage with a special curry ketchup - very typical German fast food) in the Media Harbour area. My tours are customized, there is no standard because I want to match your interests.
