Anyway, there is too much from independent travel to even think about. I went to Basel, Berlin, and Prague and they were all excellent. I suppose I could point out one of my favorite buildings. It is definitely my favorite museum of the trip, the Beyeler Foundation right outside of Basel. It is such a simple building but it works, just four long rectangular bays with high ceilings. No need for crazy random shapes which become wastes of space such as in Gehry's vitra museum. The Beyeler museum is more about the detailing. I love the way that the interior floor is flush with the pond outside. You can stand at the window and look at all the connections....or turn around and look at the art but who would want to do that. There are a lot of neat sunscreens as well.
Thank you Renzo
