Today Is January 20th, 2011, day 12 and the last day of class. Today, a couple of us took the train to the Sedlinger Tor stop, and then the number 27 bus to an architecture bookstore. This bookstore was having an exhibit on Bjarke Ingels Group. Bjarke Ingels is a young architect who just released a book entitled “Yes is More, and Evolution of Architecture”. His work can be classified as modern contemporary. This exhibit had several models and diagrams on display. Newly familiar with his work I find it inspiring and different.
After the small exhibit we continued onto the 5th day of the BAU trade show. After seeing most of the exhibitors, we revisited some of the more interesting companies like Rockwool, glass foam, and Lava. I was able to receive a lot of literature on these companies as well as a collection of details, which I will be able to reference in future projects.
As my final blog entry, I would like to thank Patrick Charles for being our professor and tour guide during this great trip. We have seen over 30 great buildings, met with 5 architecture and engineering firms, talked to dozens of locals about culture and German life, and have eaten so much wiener schnitzel, and curry-worst. This class has really been a great learning experience for culture, architecture, and life. We will be leaving Sunday for home and starting spring semester back on the Bristol Campus on the 26th. See you in the U.S
