Google Street View is an amazing technology that allows us to navigate our built environment. Google has been using cars, tricycles and even snow bikes, loaded with cameras and a GPS system to map the world from a pedestrian perspective.
Every week we are going to take you into an interesting architectural location using Google Street View, to expand the way we show you architecture. Please note that you can drag and walk around the buildings to see them fron different angles.
In this first post we are taking you to an interesting housing project I stumbled upon while walking in Basel, Switzerland. I don’t know who the architect is, but I really liked the way the balconies are arranged in that random facade.
Feel free to leave your comments, feedback or suggested locations in the comments section below.
the architects are ‘Engler Architekten’ from basel.
THANKS!!!!!!
awesome,,,,feels like being there
Architects of this building are Trinkler Engler Ferrara.

Really great what internet can do… You post a picture of a building, and within a few hours, you get back the name of the architect !
Better than Google, Human Google !
