  • Zumthor: From construction site to new buildings

    I took snaps of the Zumthor construction site in Riehen / Basel. The buildings are nearing completion now.

    It is fascinating how you can create and change the way a place is seen.

    Looking forward to seeing the inside.

    Here’s my Flickr album.

    look at the consistency of the walls. The texture is different.

    Love the light blue Vespa which shows how high the building is. Great prop. As if I had planned it. Also, i do have a piazza-like feeling. Hopefully there will be an architecture tour soon.

  • Snapshot that I love

    Took this on a train. Love the industrial look.

  • 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.

    I uploaded one of my favourite snaps to Redbubble taken at Liwonde National Park in Malawi.

    If you should meet an elephant on a summer’s day.
    What would you do?  What would you say?
    I’d say, “Good morning Elephant, how do you do?
    I’m glad to meet you elephant, I’d like to dance with you.”
