Description
The site of the Novartis Campus was originally an industrial complex, and it has seen continuous development since the nineteenth century. The restructuring plan, launched ten years ago, is based on a grand vision of the transformation of this production site into a “Campus of Knowledge”. In this issue A+U provides an overview of the Novartis Campus, together with in-depth introductions of the individual works of architecture.
