A week in Ticino ... ... more was not possible. The first three days it rained from every pore - the lake rose by a meter and we had to work hard not to think of the flood of 2000. At that time our exit in time to save our car from the floods -> two hours later, the parking lot was flooded. And in time to the San Bernadino to happen -> on the same day he was blocked by a landslide.
And yet the weather recreation pure. Whether it is on the light or even in August, working fireplace, this place is good. The rest of the week increased from pleasant spring temperatures until the summer. A typical Ticino element we have identified in our weather-independent activity as final value: covered open space. One might call it pergolas, galleries and balconies, the roof protects both from water and from a surfeit of sun.
A first andener local architectural guide proved to be not in the original sense, but very efficient. Sophie's navigation system took us despite the somewhat unorthodox Ticino street reliably affected in the organization Region. But times to admire the view of the building was covered by a huge canvas (renovation) or newly acquired residences stood in the way, the residents wary watch the contortions of the building (m) mistresses-neck. Since we preferred to travel by road led residents, we discovered other interesting buildings that are not (yet) included in the architectural guide. Advantage: our perception of German architecture was not confused.
After the construction (m) mistress of an early morning in a bathrobe was saved only by free purchase of the hotel staff before being arrested, she was chairman of the council and police chief almost two days later appointed an honorary citizen. Then was also the Swiss television for us filmenswert. The channel shows such good movies, that he was removed years ago from our network - we must not look at us.
Back to our body and stomach theme: Architecture. Yesterday was meeting in the architect's office, various elements have been rotated by 90 degrees, windows installed, converted into rooms, toilets and showers separated by walls designed to open fire and Mozart can penetrate into more remote corners. Back home announces construction (m) herrin the good news: the end of next week, submitted the planning application. Construction (m) herrin child is stunned: "And then?"
"Then you go."
"You can started but not yet! "
" Why not? "
" You know not what you want to build your all. "
Ahem, that's what happens when you look with irritated pout gene ceiling when a plan appears on the horizon . ... The
seems now to have recognized the child, mother pulls out a plan and explained the child can not stand still mine, the site has been assigned to Mother now dawns on him. which is beautiful and already we have. . again the debate of who has what right to which fire You'll be right -. we have enough space, we still argue about decades
herrin What the ambitious construction (m) longer weighs on the soul, the conclusion of their architectural journey. On the way back we passed the Navi remove obstinate to the east, are driven by the Bregenzer country and have in a small village street sign happens to us was welcome in Bavaria. No customs post, not a barrier, a nearly non-existent border. And it is obvious for people interested in architecture the border. In the form of Erkerchen and little balcony, which are not reasonably available, but flay square meter. Development plans.
Our architect is known to be creative in terms of the interpretation of these rules. All the more amusing that we find in roof forms prescribed free Ascona two houses, the misery, from which they were born, are not clear.
Our development plan provides for a maximum roof pitch of XY °, a minimum does not say. So actually ... But you never know, so we are grateful Ascona - you can also build voluntarily Sun
What we show below, you can personally find interesting or beautiful or terrible. We're about a central point: diversity. And a question: has anything other than the default, while being terribly expensive?
a house here in colored concrete:
Man, the pictures enlarge by clicking, then you see the classic concrete characteristics.
Another new development with a combination of stone and metal roof. Sorry, here is a feature that building (m) is not mistress pleases: the windows consist of more frames than glass.
dark metal (I will not set me on to what exactly it is) is actually just 'in'. Unfortunately, difficult to photograph, in the picture is lamellar, although the digital world, they like to interpret as circles.
This is even building entrance (m) rule-Young agrees:
And see the fins in the vicinity of:
Our favorite house, we will show later in a separate posting.
