entrance of Behnisch Architekten

Behnisch事务所入口门牌（纸）

This is the entrance of the famous Behnisch Architekten, german no.1. The company name is only printed on a A4 paper and tagged on the door. I had never thought they would be in such a small building, hidden behind other normal apartment houses from the 70s. The interview turned out to be an intorduction for all their projects, and the most stange part is, all trainees have to work in the kitchen for all the other employee, each for one week, this is where I finally read the "oldness" of this old company. Although this is the one I´ve been longing for since long time, but I can still smell the german scent on the flat, strong german scent.
Then maybe Holland... shall I get liberal,and the fame there...

这就是著名的Behnisch事务所的入口，德国排名第一，世界排名第十二，入口的公司名牌仅仅是一张A4打印的白纸，套在塑料封套里，贴在门上。事务所藏在一栋临街的居民楼背后，普普通通70年代的建筑，没有指点一般人是绝对想不到的，相反居民楼前的中国杂货店倒是门庭若市。
在Behnisch的面试进行的很顺利，整个下午都由一个小伙子带着我了解一个一个项目。令我奇怪的是这家所仍然保留的古老传统，由实习生轮流煮咖啡整理厨房，公司的年份仅从此就可见一斑。尽管它是我多年来崇敬和向往的一家公司，但我仍然从它幽深的工作间里嗅到了根深蒂固的德国味道，而且及其浓烈。
也许还是应该去荷兰，装扮的自由点？荷兰那两家的名声在国际上也的确是大一些... ...难下决心的九月。






Stuttgart, strange city. Crowded, loud, hot.You can see money everywhere, small money under the shadow of huge tycoons, everybody is fighting for it, picking up on the street, snatching from your pocket. That's why I kind of like the whereabout of Behnisch, hiding is the only choice in this city.

斯图的Schlossplatz，喷泉四周围满了临时厕所

斯图是我不喜欢的那种城市，挤，闹，吵，空气里充满了钱的味道。城里有的是金壁辉煌的一切
免费的汽车大厦，也有的是在大厦阴影下随风飘舞的零碎钞票。人人都在为钱奋斗，积极的，狡猾的，骗的捡的。相比之下，躲藏起来的Behnisch倒是选了个这个城市里不错的地点。
