		<description><![CDATA[By creating the Rolex Learning Center as a seamless undulating space with no partitions and hardly any walls, the EPFL (Swiss federal institute of technology in Lausanne) wraps form around function. By dispensing with opacity, SANAA architects, Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa create the perfect metaphor for learning, an example of architecture at its best. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=art-folio.ch&#038;blog=9654187&#038;post=561&#038;subd=michelelaird&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To house his family’s spectacular art collection, the Swiss-born Andreas Bechtler has commissioned leading architect, Mario Botta to design a museum in his adopted country. The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art was inaugurated this weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina with a selection from the collection’s 1,400 works by modern masters. With elegant volumes pierced by Botta’s hallmark shafts of light, the museum is considered a success.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=art-folio.ch&#038;blog=9654187&#038;post=270&#038;subd=michelelaird&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A disused locomotive hall in the centre of Lausanne has been chosen as the venue for the new fine arts museum, Vaud canton and Lausanne city authorities officially announced on Wednesday. The anticipated bonus for the choice of the site could well be a complete rethink of the adjoining Lausanne railway station and its connections. Renowned art collections have been promised to the museum when it finds a new home.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=art-folio.ch&#038;blog=9654187&#038;post=411&#038;subd=michelelaird&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On the occasion of the exhibition "Robert Rauschenberg: Gluts" organized by the Peggy Guggenheim Collection Venice, the Tinguely Museum in Basel also presents the collaborations between Robert Rauschenberg and Jean Tinguely.
