Image title: The central switch point of the Swiss railway company in Bale, Switzerland. Architects Pierre De Meuron and Jacques Herzog, construction 1998-1999. Located behind the Munchenstein Bridge, like a giant monolith, this impressive building stands above the railways. For many, this specialised industrial construction is an architectural impertinence. This cube is coated with copper with a red gold tone whose reflections change according to the lighting and angle of view. Photography 10/06/05.
