To encourage exploration of various architects and buildings, I will post an image of a new building on a weekly basis, so we may all play "Name that Architect and Building!!!". Sorry to be lame, but I'm sort of tired of hearing how wonderful Rem is or how everyone hates Gehry. Let's get some other guys on the table, instead of regurgitating the same thing. Anyway,

mark bittman's food tour through spain w/ paltrow, mario batali and claudia bassols called spain-on the road again
batali and paltrow go to girona, end up near the cathedral and head over to the jewish quarter. they get all choked up (in a faux tourist-y way) hella annoying. the few episodes i watched (the scenery is stunning - it is spain, and of course the food looked delicious), platrow and batali said utterly stupid and ridiculous things every time they opened their mouths. it was baaad.

It has that Melbourne-esque play with the facade and tesselation/patterning going on, but it is in European country starting with D

it's on the neckar - not swiss...
but nice pick up.
but with those trees, that could be just outside seattle. the concrete doesn't look too bad, either.

has to be german, austrian or czech...
judging by the outlets, the induction cookyop, the bottled mineral water and the espresso machine.
i'm going to lean towards austrian because the pan on the stove is a french oven,=.
