This is the beautiful Swiss Pavilion built by Peter Zumthor. This beautiful building is the most aesthetically pleasing thing I have ever seen. The building resides in Hanover, Germany which is also sometimes referenced as the ‘Sound Box’. This building was designed specifically for the 2000 Expo and consists of 45,000 boards and 2,800 cubic meters of larch and Douglas pine from Swiss Forests. The way that he uses these materials allows for a beautiful display of light and his use of wood found in forests native to Switzerland allows him to pay homage to his culture and home.
