Last week I went on a trip around Europe as part of my Diploma. Travelled through France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg on an Architecture tour. We visited the Porsche and Mercedes museums so thought I would stick a few pics up along with some random shots of elsewhere.

Tado Ando Gallery




Mercedes


























Porsche









Vals Thermal Baths - Awesome palce to visit, thermal baths built into a mountain.







Transportation museum





Random






Ronchamp Church on a snow coverd mountain



...and what happened when the coach attempted the descent



rescue vehicle


Vitra








And at the ferry port on way back



Great trip, not sure if the photos are of interest to anyone but saw some great buildings and some shitters

Would recommend both the museums, both for the architecture and the cars

Bus I assume you were on it at the time? I'd have been shitting it, especially if I'd been sitting at the back

Some very good pictures there though, looks like you enjoyed your trip

Luckily we weren't on the bus at the time. Because of how bad the road had become the driver had decided to take the coach down the hill on his own just to be safe.

The road was ridiculously slippy, we were all over the place just walking down it, he somehow managed to miss all the trees and stay more or less on the road with only some scuffs to paint work to show for it

That's the exterior wall to the building, wasn't convinced on it's architectural merit but interesting if you like wheels!

We went to Vals, which is where the Thermal Baths are and then Lucerne which is on a lake, nice place. Where are you going?

Good pics, would like to do something like that myself

So was it all done on a coach?


hats of for the driver for using his head and going it alone. Could have been worse with more weight on board
