Swiss Positions:
33 Takes on Sustainable Approaches to Building
3/F Bridgeway Gallery
November 12, 2012 - January 10, 2013
The excellent reputation and high profile of Swiss architecture and engineering today are due not only to the quality of technical expertise and inventiveness of their authors, but also to a strong determination to pursue sustainable development.
Swiss Positions presents 33 photographs of Swiss architectural and engineering achievements from the past 20 years. The exhibit shows that sustainable development is not a ready-made formula, but a group of varied architectural practices which raise a number of questions concerning both creativity and sustainability. |
