    My name is Alex Novo, I’m a photographer.

    The world without photography will be meaningless to us if there is no light and color, which opens up our minds and expresses passion.

    The Stadtcasino Basel opened in 1824 but its current facilities come from later: the 1876 Musiksaal, the Hans Huber Hall from 1905 and the Casino in 1939. In 2012 the archistars Herzog & de Meuron were commissioned to restore and extend the building in the same neo-Baroque architectural tradition of the 19th-century original interiors designed by Johann Jakob Stehlin. The new Musiksaal, home to the Basel Symphony Orchestra and a Swiss landmark, inaugurated in 2020 but it was closed due to the Covid pandemic immediately after. Basically still unknown, it has reopened just in the Summer 2021.
