Baku Crystal Hall is an indoor arena ,constructed in August 2011 and finished in April 2012, in time to host its first major event, the 2012 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.

Waldspirale

The Waldspirale is a residential building complex in Darmstadt, Germany, built in the 1990s. The name translates into English as forest spiral, reflecting both the general plan of the building and the fact that it has a green roof. It was designed by Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser, planned and implemented by architect Heinz M. Springmann, and constructed by the Bauverein Darmstadt company. The building was completed in 2000.

Thank you Bianca for this fascinating card of the building
