What is the future shaped like? Award winning designer,
Yves Behar , who puts a lot of thought into this, shares his ideas about innovation. Leonhard Euler, the seminal Swiss mathematician shaped the world we live in today with his theorems--from sudoku to space travel. 2007 marked the tricentennial of his birth and we spoke with astrophysicist
Thomas Zurbuchen about his impact today.
Petroleum shaped the progress of the 20th century and now film maker Basil Gelpke alerts us to its dark side in his film A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash. Zurich West used to be the industrial badlands of Switzerland's banking capital, now it's been transformed into a cultural mecca and home to innovators such as Radek Koblasa who transformed a dreary five story building into a childhood dream. Welcome to Villa Kunterbunt And where would we be without our childhood dreams? Kids all around the world are still "Thinking of Switzerland"-- and so have you! We'd like to thank all our friends--those of you who were there when we launched in 2005, and all our new friends who have joined in the fun along the way. We hope you all stick around longer for Swiss Roots 2.0-- coming soon...
Stay Tuned!
Ms. Helvetia
