This road trip from Zurich to Strasbourg is an eye opening journey of cultural and historical experiences. In the corner of Germany, just across the border from Basel, is a a design museum that explores the built environment around us and how design can intentionally shape our everyday.
Further up the Rhine River in France, there’s former World War II concentration camp that remembers the horrors of the past and memorialises the lives lost. And just outside the city of Strasbourg is a binational park that straddles both banks of the Rhine, symbolically connected by a footbridge. I hope this journey gives you a better appreciation of the world around us today.
