The Architect?s Tour: Notes for the Design Traveler
Ben Jacks? book The Architect?s Tour: Notes for the Design Traveler, by Culicidae Architectural Press.
This publication records a lovely project, a wander through some of the most important European buildings of the last century.
Ben and his family have had the good fortune ? yes I am envious ? to find time to visit a huge range of classic 20th Century European architecture ? such as Ronchamp (France), Heidi Weber Museum (Switzerland), La Tourette (France) and the Brion Cemetery (Italy) ? but also some more recent works which may become the classics of the future ? such as Beyeler Foundation (Switzerland) and St Benedikt Chapel (Switzerland).
