The tour concentrates predominantly on the works of Charles-Edouard Jeanneret – better known as Le Corbusier – in and beyond Paris, and Alvar Aalto’s key works in Paris, Helsinki and Jyvaskyla, with a digression to visit Frank Gehry’s Guggenheim Museum, and some of the important projects generated by and after it, in Bilbao. We will also be visiting many recent buildings in Berlin, including Norman Foster’s Reichstag and Daniel Libeskind’s Jewish Museum. Another highlight will be Foster’s Millau Viaduct in southern France, the world’s tallest bridge and one of the great engineering achievements of all time. We have also allowed adequate time for participants to enjoy the many galleries, museums and other attractions in the cities we visit. The tour provides a rare opportunity for architects, urban designers, landscape architects, students and graduates of these areas, and anyone else interested in buildings and architecture and how cities are made.
