If you were fascinated by the architectural history of the 1930s during the first tour (ArchitekTour Part 1: Station Quarter), this second tour will immerse you even more deeply in the world of Biel's modernism and allow you to experience its diversity throughout the city. Less homogeneous than in the railway station district, this style can be seen in emblematic buildings such as the double gymnasium of the Marché-Neuf school, the municipal library, the Grand Garage du Jura or the tram stop at Juraplatz. Here, the architectural quality is revealed in subtle details rather than decorative embellishments.
