With GERMANY STREET FRONTS we will stroll along individual street fronts of more than 40 German cities and towns. We will study their built heritage, we will discover changes caused by time and society, as well as architectural styles that define these cities and identify similarities and differences. We will cross Germany from Rostock in the north to Freiburg in the south, from Monschau in the west to Görlitz in the east. And we will be guided through these cityscapes by a variety of topics on German cities’ appearance and building heritage.
What is the story of these panoramas?
These streetline perspectives are created from multi-perspective image series taken along street fronts and manually created in a digital editing process. All cityscapes stem from our online archive here at panoramastreetline.com which creates and publishes these panoramas worldwide and is based in Germany. The exhibition presents several new german cityscapes that will be published here in the upcoming months.
USA Street Fronts
A second part of the project will be to travel US cities and create cityscapes from the United States. For the final tour stops we will present them in the exhibition and allow for comparisons and further perspectives on architecture and building culture.
Here is a first set of images provided by Goethe Institute Seattle!
