Lost Places

When the glamor of old factories, hotels or train stations has long since faded and nature reclaims the space, ruins remain. Abandoned, exposed to decay from one day to the next: These are Abandoned Places or also known as Lost Places.

These places combine memories of days gone by with the certainty that everything is transient. And yet, their walls radiate tranquility, as plants and animals return.

In this topic, we will take you on a very special journey. It will take you to places long gone and pearls of human architecture, without any additional facts.

Just take some time to let these abandoned and almost forgotten places take effect on you. Imagine what they looked like just a few years ago, what kind of people were there, or how machines once worked there continuously.

Watch as you enter a thought playground, creativity kicks in, and perhaps an idea or two of your own for future re-use emerges. Here you can see the world from a whole new angle: from the perspective of time.
