This building is in Wil em Rhein, Germany, on the border of Switzerland. Obviously, she is one of my favorite architects, designing from an empirical viewpoint. She uses the human’s preconceptions of space to alter the space, and thus the user is tricked by the space. She uses sharp angles and usually no perpendicular edges to further intensify the user’s experience in the space. In the series of interior pictures, you see the same hallway from each end. The floor seems to rise, but it is really the ceiling that is rising while the ground remains flat. Especially on the interiors, she concentrates on intensifying your perspective view of the space by drawing the lines ultimately together into a point.

Did I mention that this was her first big building commission…not bad huh?

There will definitely be more to come soon, but right now I have to save my dinner from the hands of Becky (she got impatient with me and is trying to cook by herself - eek!).
