  • Bicycle tour: Open House Basel Heartbrut

    I took part in a bicycle tour yesterday by Open House Basel. My snapshots can be viewed in this Flickr album. We cycled around Basel, viewing beton brut buildings.

    Buildings we looked at :

    • Brunnmatt-Schule
    • Markthalle
    • Antoniuskirche
    • Universitätsbibliothek
    • Schule für Gestaltung
    • Maurerhalle
    • Silo Erlenmatt

    I walked up the bell tower at Antoniuskirche.

  • My own private Zumthor

    If you’re into architecture, you may know this already: the new extension being built at Fondation Beyeler is designed by Peter Zumthor.

    My own private Zumthor. I’ve been taking snaps as construction progresses.

    One good thing is that it will open access to another park that was private up to now.

  • Beyeler by Renzo Piano
