Le week-end d'architecture
This weekend we’re taking a class trip to Switzerland and Germany. By the time we’re back in Paris, we’ll have seen the abbey in Vézelay by Viollet-le-Duc, the pilgrimage chapel of Notre Dame de Haut in Ronchamp by Le Corbusier, the Landesgartenschau and former Vitra Fire Station by Zaha Hadid, the Vitra Conference Center by Tadao Ando, and the Vitra Design Museum by Frank Gehry all in Weil am Rhein, numerous projects by the two Basel-based firms of Herzog & de Meuron and Diener & Diener, and the Beyeler Foundation Museum in Riehen by Renzo Piano.
