And while there will be time in coming posts for those reflections on the Gropius school and the developments of the century past, the focus of our 2019 #campustour visits to

Burg Giebichenstein Halle Summer Exhibition 2015

Taking a few minutes break from the 2015 Burg Giebichenstein Halle Summer Exhibition we sat ourselves on a low wall to enjoy a well earned coffee and to digest and reflect on what we had seen, when we slowly became aware of the unmistakable tones of Morrissey's "Everyday is like Sunday" drifting across the college's Neuwerk campus.
