I was determined to appreciate Holland's modern architecture this time around - we are known for modern design after all. Here's a good example, the Achmea building in Leiden, and although striking, I really dislike the primary colors stuck onto the building. But then again without the primary colors it would just be a bunch of buildings with a dark blue glass facade. I am clearly not there yet, at the appreciation stage. Because the pictures I want to take are the kind below - in this case a very old restaurant which used to be free standing until it was encased by a hideous one story mall complex on its right. And getting the building by itself was a trick because of the other tacky modern shop on its left.
