Description and Table of Contents
Description
Designing a new national map of urban topography for Switzerland.
The classic volume Switzerland. An Urban Portrait was published in three languages by Birkhauser Verlag in 2005 and has lost none of its relevance to this day.
The result of several years of research by ETH Studio Basel, this three-volume work contains explorations of the multiple layers and facets of Swiss towns and cities by renowned architects Roger Diener, Jacques Herzog, Marcel Meili, Pierre de Meuron, and Christian Schmid, as well as possible and/or desirable scenarios for the future development of country's main cities and its Alpine region. It also includes maps of urban topography.
