I had an amazing time in Germany and the Netherlands. I especially love Holland (NL). We spent two nights in Cologne, three in Utrecht, and one on the bus. Visited Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and a few other places. I got to visit buildings by OMA, Peter Zumthor, Norman Foster, J.A. Brinkman, ONL, MVRDV, Tado Ando, Sauna and several more. I didn’t even realize the last two had projects outside of Japan, but they were some of my favorite visits.
Over the course of 6 days I took around 600 photos. I don’t really know where to start, so I figured I would just show two images. The first is the backside of a sound barrier between the highway and a neighborhood just outside of Utrecht. It’s adjacent to the Hessing Cockpit (pictures to come). The second photo is of a canal in the older part of Utrecht. I had dinner near here the last day. If this is just the infrastructure, imagine how stunning everything else is.
Thanks to everyone who wished me a great time! It definitely paid off. Cant wait to share more in the coming days. If you have any requests let me know. I have far too many pictures to post them all. I can post a full itinerary as well.

SWEET!!! Love your title by the way. I would love to see just one picture of each building you went to or at least their names so I can check it out online. Glad you had a lot of fun.
