Site Plan
From the architect. Founded in 2008, the Joachim Herz Foundation is one oft he largest foundations in Germany. With resources of 1.3 billion Euros the main objective is to promote education, science and research.
Since the 1970s, a former coffee roastery was the office of Joachim Herz, an entrepreneur from Hamburg. Germany. In the 1990s, he modificated the old roasting-tower into a modern office. After his death in 2008 the tower remained the heart and home of the Joachim Herz Foundation.

Section
The new headquarter was built in 2014 on the site of the old coffee roastery. The production halls were teared down, but the 25 m (82 ft) high roasting-tower remained and was integrated into the new ensemble both creatively and functionally. The 3-storey building surrounds the roasting-tower like a meander, that creates a stimulating tension between the old tower and the new house.

The new building is divided into an eastern and a western part, which is connected by a bridge in the second level. Thereby a semi-public patio arises. From here you are able toenter the 2-storey entrance hall. On the ground floor you find function rooms, an auditorium, conference rooms and a library. In the western part of the ground floor the cafete- ria opens up to a generous lake terrace and a newly designed garden.

The offices on the upper floors have corridors with glass partition walls and room-high windows which creates a generous atmosphere with natural light. The intervisibility with the courtyards, the consistent materials and the reluctant color scheme give a calm atmosphere.The facade manufactured of precision precast concrete segments give the building a spatial depth.
After the existing buildings were demolished the outdoor installation were transformed into a 700 m2 (7.535 ft2) garden with a large lake.

Let There Be Light by Pcoskun by Pcoskun
It’s not often I get spoiled on a single evening, but this particular evening just gave me so much to work with in terms of light and atmosphere. This was from the same evening as “Wild Superstitions” and showcases some more incredible light I was able to witness. While I didn’t get lightning strikes in this image, the quality of light was some of the absolute best I have ever seen here. In fact, it was so intense that it you would have thought the image was dipped in pure gold. I had to tone this one down a bit and try to get some color separation. It’s amazing how quickly things change. The image I took prior to this showcased a double rainbow just to the left of the image and extended onto the mountain. I wish I could have incorporated that into this image, however, that was about thirty minutes prior to taking this scene in which I had to find shelter as it began pouring. It was like a snap of the fingers when the rain just stopped, the sun dipped just below the clouds and the golden light just exploded over the landscape. I ran quickly to find a decent composition, and while this is quite cluttered, shows quite a variety of desert vegetation. This was what I called the calm in the storm, it got quiet, a slight breeze which swayed the flowers and ocotillo and then all of a sudden, more loud crashes of thunder and lightning striking in all directions. I still can’t believe the quality of light I witnessed this evening, and every time I browse back through the gallery, I find myself grinning from ear to ear. With the monsoons soon approaching, I am hoping that I can photograph some even crazier conditions around the mountain. It’s been a while since my last visit!

Shades of Mauve by in2photos by in2photos
On the plane home today from Washington D.C., I worked on this one from my Oregon Coast road trip last month. The nice lady sitting next to me was adoring it, so I called it “done” when I detected her approval.
Did you see that seagull on the sand at the base of the leftmost rock?
