Unbelievable
Here’s a selection of photos from my early journeys in Svizzera.
Walking past the oldest operating baptistery in Switzerland, about 20 yards from our studio at Villa Maderni.
View from a 20 minute hike, a little more than a quarter up Mt. Saint Giorgio, overlooking Riva.
AHHH TITS! or as the Italian speaking Swiss call them… “TEETS”.
Lugano vista near the train station. Bello!
Bank designed by Mario Botta, from Mendrisio, Riva’s neighboring town.
Architecture bros in Lugano.
A 15 year old boy asked me to buy him a bottle of passionfruit liquor at the local grocery. I tried to respond in Italian, but I couldn’t remember the Italian translations for “you’re too young”, “I’m uncomfortable with that”, or “you’re gay”, so I just said (in english) “we’re just browsing”. I’ll leave you with that, for now, and continue to sketch the proportions of the Villa’s facades, windows, and doors. Arrivederci.
