This post is a bit off topic, but since it?s from my home town, Basle (that?s in Switzerland if you wondered), I decided to post it anyway. It is remotely technical though.
Switzerland has had a long tradition of modern design and Basle is host to a few of the biggest exhibitions world wide. For example, there?s ?Basel World? a very popular watch & jewelry fair (the Chinese invade our city each year when it starts). Then there?s also ?Art?, an exhibition which - you guessed it - is about displaying art like painting, statues and other arty stuff. It is so hugely successful, that they even decided to found a co-event in Miami which also takes place once a year. So those events attract a lot of people from foreign countries. And where?s that toilet located at? It?s in the middle of the exhibition area, the ?Messeplatz?, so most visitors should see it.
Here are the pictures of Basle?s newest? uhm? design masterpiece:
