Research

I was interested at one specific place to begin my research, The "Fondation Beyeler" in Basel, Switzerland. The Swiss Art dealer and collector Ernst Beyeler commissioned the Italian architect Renzo Piano to do the building. I chose this place, because it is the only place where I have had the most amazing and complete experience while visiting a Museum. 

I believe one has to  go there to understand it, but I will try my best to explain what I felt in those walls. Everything is one, art, architecture and nature. Time does not matter there, the "Fondation" is situated in the countryside outside of Basel in the middle of a field. To give you an example, Renzo Piano and Ernst Beyeler chose materials or the region to built the Museum so it would really fit in the surroundings and would not stand out too much.

the most incredible room is the room with the Alberto Giacometti's sculptures and the room with the Monet painting. Both of the rooms are connected to a pond outside the "Fondation". When entering, the sculptures become alive and it feels like they are about to become alive and walk on the water.
