dortmunder & pyrmonter straße // köln buchforst
In the federal states of the old federal republic of germany too, you come across housing estates that were built using the prefabricated slab construction system and that are strikingly similar in style and design to their sisters in the former german democratic republic. if i didn't know that i was in the depths of cologne, one might also think that the pictures were taken in leipzig, dresden, berlin or suhl. but when i start researching the buildings and types, it seems to me that east german prefabricated housing is much better researched than its west german siblings.
