Hybrid house

摘要

The Schaulager in Basel, Switzerland, is a simple, five-story box at the edge of an industrial zone. But, in the hands of architects Herzog & de Meuron, it has become a sublime warehouse. The importance of storage in a culture fixated on the continual movement of people, goods, and data finds here its first monument. The Schaulager can have such importance because it is a place to store art, not books for Amazon or furniture for Aunt Mabel.
