Swiss Positions: 33 Takes on Sustainable Approaches to Building
3/F Bridgeway Gallery
November 12, 2012 - January 10, 2013
Swiss Positions features photographs of 33 key Swiss sustainable construction projects over the past 20 years. What all these architectural works have in common, whether viewed from a technological, organic, vernacular, or social perspective, is that they interact with the setting in which they've been created.
Swiss Positions
is a traveling exhibition presented in Manila by the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and the Swiss Embassy in celebration of 150 years of bilateral relations between Switzerland and the Philippines. |
