Where can you find buildings that became global icons and also helped spark economic and social change in the 1990s? Let’s start in Bilbao, where software originally developed for designing fighter jets was used in the design of the Guggenheim Museum. This project launched the widespread use of 3D technologies in architecture and transformed this industrial city into an international cultural destination. It is no coincidence that people have been talking about the so-called “Bilbao effect” ever since. Using Street View, we’ll join Adam Gebrian not only in Spain, Brazil, and the Netherlands, but also in Vals, Switzerland. There, we’ll find the 7132 Therme spa complex by Peter Zumthor, which achieved heritage status in just two years. We’ll also visit Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum in Berlin, whose winding form references the invisible network of addresses of Berlin’s Jewish residents who once lived in this area. And we won’t miss Paris and its monumental National Library, with thousands of study spaces and hundreds of kilometers of bookshelves.
