Re: Your favourtie Swiss Building

Ok, i know these are both technically cheating, but i think they are my faves.

The first is actually (only just) in Germany, but is Swiss Architect's Herzog and De Meuron's newest building. It's the Vitra House at Vitra headquarters in Basel. I visited 2 weeks ago and it looked like this.... (First Photo).

The second is not done by a Swiss Architect, but he does live in Zurich (as far as i know) so it was designed in Switzerland....
It's the library of the ETH University by the Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava and is breath-taking. I went last week for a look around and almost wet myself.

Those are my fave bits of Swiss Architecture so far. (Although my Architour of Switzerland is only in its infancy as i've only been here 3 weeks!)

I'm looking forward to seeing lots of the other buildings posted on here.

Good Post
