Ten major property associations have therefore founded the “Bund für mehr Wohnraum” (Federation for more housing). This organisation is committed to a fair, well-functioning housing market, effective and sustainable measures to combat the housing shortage and the construction of sufficient new flats in Switzerland.

The richly illustrated book Sacred Sites, which will soon be published by Taschen, is a visual exploration of the world’s most important cultural sites. It is a visual pilgrimage to mountains, pyramids and cathedrals that document how the human need for spirituality characterises our world.
