Summary:
Given an ideal situation to work with, the Zurich architects Marcel Meili and Markus Peter designed and built a new training and meeting center for Swiss Re in Rüschlikon. Backed by an ambitious client and a substantial budget, they developed an expansive park complex overlooking Lake Zurich and the Bodmer mansion, a protected historical monument, into a setting in which architecture and art, landscape and interior space, old and new combine to form a complex whole. The result is not a manifesto of a particular style but the equally perfect and subtle interpretation of a real place and the programmatic vision it inspires. The Art Commission of Swiss Re chose a "strategy of systematic artistic interventions in existing space". The design of all furniture and interiors was entrusted to the hands of renowned artists and architects. Adolf Krischanitz and Hermann Czech designed the furniture and the "Red Bar" in the Gardener's Lodge. Gilbert Bretterbauer supervised the design and selection of textiles. Artist Günther Förg handled the color design for all of the interiors in the old mansion. The old grounds had been preserved almost entirely in their original condition. The existing stands of trees served as a framework for the detailed design of the park complex by landscape architects Kienast Vogt and Partner. With photographs by Margherita Spiluttini

Summary:
«C'est en Californie, en 1969-1970, que des amis scientifiques de l'université de Berkeley m'ont éveillé la conscience écologique. Trois décennies plus tard, près l'assèchement de la mer d'Aral, la pollution du lac Baïkal, les pluies acides, la catastrophe de Tchernobyl, la contamination des nappes phréatiques, le trou d'ozone dans l'Antarctique, l'ouragan Katrina à La Nouvelle-Orléans, l'urgence est plus grande que jamais.» -Edgar Morin. «Les scientifiques comme les poètes montrent que les trajectoires de la nature et de l'humanité sont indissociables, que notre communauté d'origine est l'identique de notre communauté de destin. [...] Saint-Exupéry écrivait : "Il n'y a pas de solutions, mais des forces. Créons ces forces et les solutions suivront." Nous avons des outils formidables pour endiguer la famine et sauver la Terre. Ce qui nous manque, c'est une volonté commune.» -Nicolas Hulot Nicolas Hulot, Edgar Morin : l'insurgé médiatique et l'intellectuel critique, le journaliste conscientisé et le sociologue de la complexité se sont rencontrés en plein cœur de la campagne électorale française afin de prendre le temps de parer à l'urgence. Ecologique et climatique. Mais aussi éthique, civique, politique.

Summary:
For some 20 years, Kunming, a provincial capital city in China - 3.2 million inhabitants - has been the twin town of the European metropolis Zurich. As a direct result of this partnership, Kunming now has the first inner-city bus line in China, the first large-scale conservation of a historical part of the town, and new concepts for urban development at a regional level. This pioneering collaboration between western and Chinese planning teams, and the ways in which urban planning has been managed, are not only significant for Kunming but are of importance for all countries which are interested in sharing the expertise and knowledge of professionals whether they be from East or West, North or South, for countries which wish to benefit from western building practice whilst avoiding their mistakes. The challenge of such joint projects surely lies in the confrontation resulting from the traditional and historical background in large Asian cities together with their sense of modernity which has often surpassed the modern western world not only in terms of progress but also problems.
