A 94-metre-high high-rise with flats, offices and shops is to replace the concrete parking block at Basel’s Messeplatz.

Good stuff
Nice, we need more of this.
Looks like someone stacked a few containers on top of each other. And the rendering is heavily greenwashed!
I don’t get it. Herzog&deMeuron where once iconic for what they delivered. But when you look at what they plan in Basel, it’s more like they were crawling through their trash bin!
As long as this is done based on supply and demand (highest bidder etc.) and not as part of a political scheme I’m fine with this change.
I wonder if they really had to choose Herzog & de Meuron (HdM) for this project. Because i imagine that using these big name architects always adds a lot to the price of this kind of project.
Good. The ca. 100k people who move to this country every year need to live somewhere. I would rather have many more highrise buildings in the cities than endless villages like we have now.
At least one city in Switzerland has the balls to build high buildings, meanwhile in Zurich…
Why the fuck do they think we need thousands of parking space…
Very good idea
