A new building for the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Geneva blends harmoniously into its surroundings. The building is designed to respect the topography and the adjacent park, featuring an organic shape and a low height to integrate with the landscape.
Inside, the functions are clearly structured: conference and exhibition spaces are in the basement, semi-public areas like a restaurant are on the middle floors, and offices with panoramic views are located on the upper floors. The facades reflect transparency and modernity, and the overall design aims to promote communication and exchange among employees.
