Dear Harvardians,

The Harvard Club of Switzerland invites you to a unique visit of the Atelier of the world famous architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron in Basel. Among other Harvard ties, Herzog & de Meuron is currently participating in the renovation of the Gund Hall at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD).

The evening will include a guided tour of the Atelier of Herzog & de Meuron by Ms Christine Binswanger, Senior Partner. This tour will be followed by a Q&A session and an opportunity to network around drinks and finger food.

Capacity: 25 alumni, no guests
Cost: CHF 50 (online payment via registration link below)

Please register early as we have limited capacity for this event (maximum of 25 participants). This event is primarily reserved for Harvard Club members. It will be opened for guests only if there are available spots (which will be announced separately, if any).

N.B.: Herzog & de Meuron requires the signature of a non-disclosure agreement, which will be handed out to participants at the start of the event.
 
We are looking forward to seeing you there!
 
Kind regards,
