点评:Never thought I would have a chance to visit the Vitra Design campus. But an invite to Basel brought that dream to fruition. So we came to the Vitra Design Museum to see the array of buildings designed by some of the world's best modern architects: Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA, among others. We took the English-language Architecture Tour to learn about how this campus came to be and to see the individual buildings inside and out. Starting at VitraHaus, our tour took us inside the Conference Center (Ando), the Factory building by SANAA, and the Fire Station by Hadid; the Vitra Design Museum by Gehry was closed for a new exhibition installation. Our tour guide led us about the campus to see other buildings that have been moved to this campus: a Geodesic dome by Buckminster Fuller, Umbrella House, Garden House, and more. Our tour ended at the Schaudepot (Herzog & de Meuron), so we stopped in to see their current exhibition Science Fiction Design, displaying modern furniture and futuristic objects seen in movies and on television, and then enjoyed a bite at their cafe. On our way back to VitraHaus, we climbed the Vitra Slide Tower by German artist Carsten Höller to enjoy the views and watch young people slide down. All in all, a wonderful experience!
翻译:我从没想过会有机会参观维特拉设计园区。但是巴塞尔的邀请让我实现了这个梦想。于是我们来到维特拉设计博物馆,参观由一些世界顶级现代建筑师设计的建筑,其中包括弗兰克·盖里、扎哈·哈迪德、安藤忠雄、赫尔佐格和德梅隆以及 SANAA 等。我们参加了英语建筑之旅,了解这个园区的由来,并参观了每栋建筑的内外。从维特拉之家出发,我们的旅程带我们进入了会议中心(安藤)、SANAA 的工厂大楼和哈迪德的消防局;盖里的维特拉设计博物馆因新的展览而关闭。我们的导游带领我们参观了园区,看到了其他已搬迁到这个园区的建筑:巴克敏斯特·富勒的测地线圆顶、伞屋、花园屋等等。我们的旅程在赫尔佐格和德梅隆设计的Schaudepot博物馆结束,于是我们顺便参观了他们目前正在举办的“科幻设计”展览,其中展出了电影和电视中常见的现代家具和未来主义物品。之后,我们去咖啡馆吃了点东西。返回VitraHaus的路上,我们爬上了德国艺术家卡斯滕·霍勒设计的维特拉滑梯塔,欣赏美景,看着年轻人滑下来。总而言之,这是一次美妙的体验!
