. Organized by a team of experienced architects, historians and academicians, Bauhaus to Biennale is a comprehensively planned experience of modern architecture in Europe through guided city walks, culture trails and academic discussions. Our passionate team of co-ordinators blends local architecture, building culture, current architectural developments and urban design while planning itineraries to further enhance the travel experience.
Experience Berlin, Stuttgart, Ronchamp, Basel, Chur, Zurich and Venice accompanied by renowned artists, architects, historians and professionals aiding in providing new perspectives about themes and issues that shape global architecture today – from the design of homes, to infrastructure and even further to urban landscapes. Through strategic corporate alliances and association with various institutions, WAT offers a host of benefits to architectural travellers.
‘Bauhaus to Biennale’ is a comprehensively planned experience of the modern and contemporary architecture in Europe, a journey that retraces the timeline of the Modernist movement while being a tribute to the master architects of modernism – from Walter Gropius to Frank Gehry and culminating at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
World Architecture Travel (WAT) is an exclusive travel enterprise that creates a global network for guided architectural tours.WAT creates intellectually stimulating tours designed for people with enquiring minds and a desire to learn, understand and appreciate new cultures, places and people.
STUTTGART
Berlin is followed by Stuttgart – a place that made architectural history with its world-famous Weissenhof estate on the Killesberg – the houses of Le Corbusier are even UNESCO world heritage sites.
RONCHAMP
In Ronchamp, WAT travellers will head to Chapelle Notre Dame du Haut – a small chapel in Ronchamp, France, one of Le Corbusier’s most iconic designs – and considered one of the most important buildings of the 20th century, and represents a key shift away from the sparse, functionalist form of Modernism displayed in his earlier projects.
BASEL
Basel, a city set on river Rhine, is paradise for art and architecture lovers and that’s where WAT travellers headed to after Ronchamp. Many thousands of art and architecture lovers visit each year for the city’s wealth of galleries, museums and iconic buildings.
CHUR
LUGANO
Lugano is a vivacious city, with posh designer boutiques, bars and pavement cafes huddling in the spaghetti maze of steep cobblestone streets that untangle at the edge of the lake and along the flowery promenade.
VENICE BIENNALE
WAT travelers will culminate Bauhaus to Biennale with 3 days at the Mostra di Architettura di Venezia, the architecture section of the Venice Biennale. As well as addressing the academic side of architecture, the Biennale provides an opportunity for architects and designers to showcase new projects, arranged in different pavilions, each with different themes.
