Re: Your favourite Swiss Building

I spend a lot of time at the Vallee de la Juenesse with the kids and had heard that it was built for the '64 expo. What a legacy for Lausanne! That park and community centre is fantastic.

The pyramids, on the other hand, I'm not so keen on. Probably because the trainer I used to help me sheds the last few post-baby kilos had me running up and down them way too often.

And BTW I'm with you on the whole expo thing. I went to Expo '88 in Brisbane as a teenager. It was the coolest thing. I don't remember a submarine though...Lausanne had us beat there.
I wish that they would have saved a few more things from the Expo. The submarine (abandoned for many years) is now at the transportation museum in Lucerne.
The EPFL aula that you mention is quite dated but at the time it was sensational and I remember visiting it with my parents. It is right next to the La Vaudoise building if you want to see the place.
