The Shell

The Shell
Made by Kecko
Another construction in St.Gallen, Switzerland, designed by Santiago Calatrava: The roof above the emergency call center of the cantonal police. It can be opened and closed similarly like a shell. Unfortunately the experience showed, that the artistic value exceeds the practical avail. It would no more be built today in this kind. June 2, 2007. Link to an aerial perspective (left of this shell you see also the entrance to the Pfalz cellar)

I tried to create a pano with dynamic content and chose the bike park under one of the highway bridges in Saint Gall. I applied the HDR technique to capture the wide light variations in the static scene. The biker was capured with a single shot, transformed to equirectangular, isolated and blended with the tonmapped HDR by layer masking. There is no abundance of spectacular colors - I see this as a nice proof of concept. The Interactive view (requires Shockwave, a free one-time automatic download)

St. Leonhards building burned 18 hours before this photo
Made by Ange Halle
A fairly recent picture after the fire destroyed the roof. According to the newspapers, the interior looks pretty good. The damages are thought to be around 3 to 10 million Swiss francs. / Note the proximity to the tracks, in fact the train station is about 1.5 blocks to the right. Train traffic had to be interrrupted when the fire was burning. /
