Judd's Building
I saw Donald Judd's building in Basel a month ago. It was made of small
and bigger boxes and it was all green. It was a Judd piece all right,
this time on another scale. I don't know if I prefer his sculptures to
the buildings, but I certainly enjoyed seeing his piece in the everyday
environment. I have Judd's book Architektur, it's published both in German
and in English. He said that the architecture should always be symmetrical
except for a good reason. I wonder what will happen to his building, what
are the other reasons apart from his? Anyway, the building was almost
symmetrical when I saw it. Will it ever attain this symmetry
and if so, for how long?
