Brickalicious
In these series I celebrate Hamburg's Brick Expressionism. Brick Expressionism developed in the 1920s as a specific variant of expressionist architecture that uses bricks, tiles or clinker as the main feature. In Hamburg there are some outstanding examples of Brick Expressionism, to name the Chilehaus designed by Fritz Höger or the neighboring Sprinkenhof designed by Hans and Oskar Gerson.
The series includes pictures of the following buildings:
• Planetarium (former water tower), reconstruction by architect Hans Loop, 1930
