Herzog & de Meuron designed the business park for Actelion Pharmaceuticals in Alischwil Switzerland, completed in 2010. The 6 floor complex includes an auditorium and restaurant.
Each of the 350 work spaces are stacked around each other as needed for circulation and close communication. A detailed list of programs in the facility are related to each other and this carries over directly into how each space is arranged. The result is a crystal-like form.
