When I visited Switzerland this past weekend, I was able to perceive a different side of architecture that was very different from what I have seen in urban cities. Though there were some historic ornamented buildings, what I mostly saw were buildings that were very simple yet colorful. Unlike Milan or other Italian cities that I have seen so far, there were fewer balconies to be seen. In one building, I even saw a single balcony that was wide enough to cover up to six windows. Usually, what I have seen is a balcony for a single window so this building was interesting to come across. Additionally, I even came across a building that reminded me of Milan with its intricate paintings on wall against a subtle tan color of the building. However, instead of seeing carved marble of columns, the painting on the wall depicted them. Also, the windows in the middle were added on top of balcony to enclose the space from outside. Though I did some Romanesque style in old district of Zurich, I was able to find mostly modernistic style buildings that were colorful from outside with the most simplistic windows.
