On our way through the borderlands of Austria, Switzerland, and Germany, we happened upon the Kunsthaus Bregenz (Bregenz Museum), one of my all time favorites. We stopped for some quick pictures, since it was a Monday and the museum was closed. Next time we will definitely go inside.
Lindsay was as excited as I was.
On to Vitra!
Vitra is one of the world's leading furniture manufacturers, and their factory campus is an architectural "Disneyland" of designers. Think Epcot, but with architects instead of countries represented. Here's a taste, albeit fragmentary:
Tadao Ando - Conference Center
Zaha Hadid - Fire Station
Frank Gehry - Chair Museum
Herzog & de Meuron - VitraHaus showroom
We didn't spend enough time here, which is my fault with the scheduling. So much to see and do in Germany! I'm taking notes, to make next time even better.
