Boh Tea Centre





This Tea Center is great. It's long and overhanging (I like this quality in architecture :), with a tremendously gorgeous view. The ZLG design group really worked well on this one.

Novartis Campus




Though done by various architects, some of whom are Frank Gehry, Peter Maerkli, and SANAA, this campus feels like a whole. If I were to get my PHD somewhere it would probably be here, thought I've never though to check if they offer anything I would enjoy :)

Meiso No Mori Municipal Funeral Hall




This piece of work was done by the Toyo Ito and Associates Architecture firm in Kakamigahara, Gifu. It's quite an excellent funeral home. Though I don't know specific funeral customs of Japan. I feel a bit sad that such a beautiful thing can hold such sadness inside. {Though I'm sure glee can come from it too}
