2 OR 3 THINGS I KNOW

11.01.2007

Herzog + de Meuron
DOMINUS Winery
Napa, CA

Herzog + de Meuron
are the best in the business
The winery has the impressive and monumental quality
of Louis Kahn's Salk Institute
It's just a wonderful interplay of
raw stone / reinforced concrete
naturalism / restraint
beauty / brutalism
so good.

You have a beautiful blog, with amazing visual and design choices. I love the images. Very inspiring - I hope you enjoy doing this as much as I enjoyed visiting.
