facing risk / 42nd st. gallen symposium / 3–4 may 2012 photo book symposium site
With the campus of the University of St. Gallen undergoing a number of changes for the symposium, the construction work had to be taken up early. After the initial preparations, which already began in early April, the awnings could be put into place one after the other, creating a spacious piazza between the Auditorium and the Main Building. On the following pages you can see how the foundation for the piazza is being laid.
