This weekend I am taking an architectural trip with three others in the graduate program. I’m going to see the work of one of my favorite architects, Peter Zumthor.
We are going to the Thermal Baths in Vals and his St. Benedict Chapel twenty minutes from Vals. His work is based off of the concept of being completely experiential. A lecture of his is documented in the book, Atmospheres, remember mom? We will stay in the Thermal Baths hotel for one night. I’m excited to drive through the alps, I imagine it will be a sight to see.
The following day we are going to drive to Basel, Switzerland. This city is in Switzerland, but borders Germany and France. At some point we are going to drive to Zaha Hadid’s Fire Station in Vitra, Germany and Ronchamp by LeCorbusier in France. All are within a close distance to each other. Last trip of the semester, when I get back I am going to have to be 100 percent focused on studio and thesis.
Ha allegra Thanksgiving e’ mangiate molto tacchino per me. Sono grato mi famiglia e' amici.

Happy Thanksgiving, Kyle.
Switzerland is beautiful, as is Germany. Although, as I remember, very expensive.
The one place I would like to visit yet is Sweden. So happy you got to go.
The dirty hostels, are these places you book on line. Surely the trips the school sponsors are much better. Right?
Have fun.
Love, Grandma G.
Have fun in Swiss Village, just don't use too much of the Tudor style for your thesis.
Sweden sounded like a pretty good time. I wonder if Lutefisk and Potato Sausage are americanized Swedish meals like Tacos and Mexico, or France and French Toast.
Have fun, Happy Thanksgiving.
Love Kevin, Jamie and Conner
