The focus of my research and analysis is real estate and related topics. Through long term observation of the real estate market in Germany and abroad, I have gained a thorough impression of the situation in various markets. This expertise has flowed in numerous projects which I try to connect with my interests and Emporis. I am also working on making Emporis more useful than in the past so that anyone who needs to know something about a specific building or real estate market can use Emporis.

You can learn some facts about me here if you do not know me yet.

• The upcoming marketcoder of Emporis now has a name: Emporis Blitzpire. It is the tissue in the body of information management.
• Here an interesting short movie about the future of Google which shows the impact of making data and relations browsable deeper and deeper .
• Selected users of the Emporis.com Reloaded prototype can now browse other domains for building-related information.
• Nature and biology have the best solutions. That's why you can answer also IT problems with the body of information management.
• There are so many things which bother people when talking about buildings. If there is an important issue missing, please let me know.
• Why are buildings important? Because they are a missing market.
• All modul types now feature graphics explaining them.
• You can now follow me also on Twitter.
• The definition of world cities has become an Emporis Standard (ESN 82694).
• We began at Emporis to break down buildings into modules to better identify individual floors and other module types.
• Emporis began to organize content and services around markets and is working on the first marketcoding engine.
• Google has released a new tool to create 3D models of buildings.
• The Skyline Ranking of Emporis has recently been updated and now uses a new calculation algorythm. It determines which most densly skylines in the world.
• Thanks to a new camera I am now taking photos at 24.6 megapixels.
• Emporis.com: Google Maps have been added to the building page, for example here.
• Features the city of Darmstadt now an airport? The answer regarding this question is no. I find it totally confusing that the facade of the new Loop 5 shopping mall shows two planes and not two shopping bags. I guess future shoppers will think the same.
• We are lucky, the northeastern by-pass around Darmstadt will be constructed. When you drive from Frankfurt to Gross-Zimmern over the A5 highway (like I do) you will understand what I mean.
• The real eastate market in Frankfurt is getting indexed better and better every day, almost the whole city center is now indexed.
• Watch out, the G1 phone from Google has no built-in navigation like the iPhone or N95 from Nokia. Furthermore the camera sucks!
• The topping out ceremony for Airport Office III in Düsseldorf has occurred.
• The progress at HafenCity Hamburg is really interesting. A city in the city is being developed here, it is worth seeing!

Quite interesting is this TV coverage about Emporis, which was broadcast recently in Germany. Unfortunately it is only available in German. Some guys are trying to bring English subtitles to the broadcast, I will keep you updated.

Everyone can join Emporis! Become a member and submit photos/buildings!
