. . . Old versus New?
. . . Building a better mousetrap?
To be honest, I could not think of the perfect blog title to capture my emotions when I think about the new clock tower that adorns the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) in the south German city of Konstanz:
The bit that causes me the trouble is the clock on the tower – it’s fully electric! Those hands you see are in fact LED lights – and if you get close enough, you can even see a little “second dot” that moves around the display.
I don’t know the story of this tower – who designed it, and whether people like it. For me personally, I have both positive and negative emotions – and maybe that was what the architect was trying to inspire?
