Düsseldorf - The yellow building is a show, the facade of an eye. Only "insiders" (in both senses of the word!) Know what is behind the 52 moose antlers with which the front of a former factory building on Rather Strasse 49e was decorated. The monumental facade Moose "could be smooth an attraction for a city tour.
Who is the man who has this strange "eye-catcher thought"? This question went to the EXPRESS and came across Karl-Heinz Petzinka (53). He is an internationally renowned architect and even a guest-professor at the Düsseldorf Academy of Art. His "horned facade design," he says: "I wanted to do something really crazy, away from the monotony and smooth facades. I wanted to create something creative! "
These considerations Petzinka came sometime in the estate of the Swedish Carlsson big game hunter on the antlers of a moose-Alaska. The idea for the 'antlers House "was born. The architect says: "A Tierpräparatorin has modeled the antlers in plastic, and I was 52 then attach it casts on the facade."
The "Yellow House" (as it is officially called) with the golden seven-meter high lattice windows, behind which have well-known fashion houses rented, looks like a huge stage set. At night, lit up the antlers. Visitors stand in amazement before shaking his head and think: "That's an angle here, just totally crazy, unfortunately somewhat hidden."
Incidentally, a native of Bocholt Petzinka in Düsseldorf already implemented other spectacular designs. So he built around the gate (in which the State Chancellery of Prime Minister Juergen Ruettgers is located), the P & C at the fashion house Schadowstraße and the VDI-house at the airport. Petzinka is regarded internationally as a pioneer and won many architectural awards.
