I went back to my Friday evening round-table yesterday to chat up a bit with my Physics colleagues. I have been rare at these rounds for the past few months, and the group itself tends to be less regular during the summer. However now Berne is back in its half-full swing of things, school and [...]

Actually I do not know if there are any already, or some planned. My ignorance in this rather fascinating architectural problem is total.
