Botta in architecture wonderland

I remember visiting Basel Switzerland four years ago.  I remember telling myself that I must visit this architecture wonderland again as soon as I left last time.  So here I am.  Just like four years ago, I was greeted today by Mario Botta's postmodern architectural icon, the 1995 Bank für Internationalen Zahlungsausgleich, right in downtown Basel when I was on my way to the hostel.

I expect seeing more architectural wonders in the next few days.
