Y is for "Your Mind Afloat" with Gothenburg's Opera, Sweden

For letter "Y" --




"Your mind afloat" is the vision of the architect Jan Izikowitz for the Gothenburg Opera. He said:


The building should be possessed by an airiness that sends your mind soaring 
across the meandering landscape like wings of seagulls.

I sent this postcard design to several people (including myself) while I was in Gothenburg last week. Now I am excited to receive it from the post.

Do you think the architect was able to realize his vision with this work?

  2. Hi Maria, This card is a beauty. Interestingly, it reminds me of a place here on Puget Sound. I think architects are inspired by waterfront locations!
