This has turned out to be a most effective theme for the tour. To remind you of the nominations, which had to be both Kind and Ingenious:
- The Little Boats in the Jardin des Tuileries and the man who made each one different.
- The Nuns in Beaune and their determination to improve nursing, not just perform it
- Lady Mumm and the Miracle of Portofino
- Alpenverein Sudtirol and their engineered footpaths
- The sluice game along the side of the playground
- Alpine fire stations
- The Fuggerei and its successful adaptation to modern needs
- The European Route of Industrial Heritage
- Wheelchair converters and wheelchair-friendly built environments
- Wash Your Lyrics
- The successful conversion of the Zollverein into an arts/culture complex while preserving the industrial architecture
And some others which on reflection might not be Kind enough but were definitely Ingenious
- The Maison de l’Armateur in Le Havre and its clever light well
- The complex sundial in Chambery
- Italy’s Autoroute Engineers
- The First Easter Calendar in Ravenna
Votes and comments are most welcome.
