I found that a number of places in Bristol are reminiscient of Göttingen itself.
⌘ ⌘
College Green; the GÖ equivalent is Platz der Göttinger Sieben, in that it is a central lawn with university buildings to the side.
⌘
Queen Square; the GÖ equivalent is Wilhelmsplatz, in that it is a point of assembly where everybody is on the outline, and no one in the center.
⌘ ⌘
Magpie Park; the GÖ equivalent is Hiroshimaplatz, in that it is used as a skating area and is surrounded by busy traffic.
⌘
The Courtrooms, a student residence. The windows make it look like a neverending collection of nondescript utility rooms. Compare with Göttingens Lern- und Studiengebäude (LSG).
⌘
St. Bartholomews, an office building with a concave shape. Similar to the Barthomoleusbogen (Bartholomew's Arc), an equally curved residential housing in GÖ.
⌘ ⌘ ⌘
Inner city pedestrian area Broadmead/Merchant Street, and Concorde Street mall. Similar to GÖ's Weender Straße and its Carré mall.
⌘
Bus ring around the city center pedestrian area, similar to GÖ's Stumpfebiel street.
⌘
South Plaza buildings. Brute architecture can be beautiful. But not here — it looks like a multi-storey parking. Follows the likes of Göttingen's ZHG.
⌘ ⌘
The Bearpit and adjoining shops/residences, Haymarket Walk. Looks as terrible as GÖ's Iduna-Zentrum (architectural sins from the 1960s).
⌘
Random takes: Technically, it's not free if the package costs £2.59 to get it.
⌘
Random takes: Where is the First Bookshop?
