Not
every building have jewels on them.
Parking Garage Karlsplatz,
Düsseldorf Ten objects of differing sizes have been
threaded into the perforated facade of the parking garage
on Karlsplatz. They are greatly magnified pieces of jewelry
of the kind that might be worn by the users of the parking
garage in the fashion center, Düsseldorf. The modular
facade, which cannot be experienced except as a foreign
body in the Old City, is turned by the jewelry worked
into it into the display case of a heterogeneously furnished
jeweler's shop.

A multi-storey car park or a parking garage is a building
(or part thereof) which is designed specifically to be
for automobile parking and where there are a number of
floors or levels on which parking takes place. It is essentially
a stacked car park.
Architects and civil engineers are likely to call it a
parking structure instead, since their work is all about
various structures, and that term is the vernacular in
some of the western United States. When attached to a
high-rise of another use, it is sometimes called a parking
podium. In the United States building codes use the term
open parking structure to refer to a structure designed
for car storage (not repair) that has enough openings
in the walls that it does not need mechanical ventilation
or fire sprinklers, as opposed to a "parking garage"
that requires mechanical ventilation or sprinklers but
does not require openings in the walls. The openings provide
fresh air flow to disperse either car exhaust or fumes
from a fire should one break out within the structure... |
