I am Paul Eis, a 19 years old architecture student. In the summer of 2015, I was walking through the streets of Berlin looking for some nice architecture to photograph. But I had to realize how monotonous the cityscape of my hometown is in the most places.

I thought how it would look like when the buildings are not as gray as they are, but being colorful.

So I started to add bright colors to my photos and posting them on Instagram.

Because of the overwhelming feedback, I got there I started a larger series. And I did not stay in Berlin. I also photographed buildings from different cities in Germany like Hamburg and Munich. But also from the Netherlands and recently from Austria where I started to study last year.

I think colors could help to make the architecture more interesting and more lively.

This is brilliant! I been thinking for ages about why we don't paint in bright colours the brutalist-ugly architecture we have everywhere. It would make it sooo much better, and here's where I rest my case. Thank for this!

    Funny that this Inner Courtyard is actually not artificially colored, apart from the one section to the right ;-) Sometimes, Berlin really is colorful!

    Paul, you need to come to Scotland to Photoshop some of our ugly 60's/70's buildings!
