St. Gallen is top

The early industrialization of textile production left its mark on St. Gallen. The UNESCO-protected Abbey District, the Baroque cathedral, and the Abbey Library make the city just as famous as its lace fabrics. How does the city now build with this burden of tradition? How does it densify and transform? Exciting solutions in the field of administrative and school construction emerge from continuing this tradition and addressing the challenges of dealing with the topography and integrating public transport.

The Canton of St. Gallen also boasts architectural gems waiting to be discovered, such as the Chäserrug by Herzog & de Meuron and the Tamina Therme in Bad Ragaz by Smolenicky & Partner.
