Description |
|
If I
understand the plaque below, that is
attached to the entrance to the building,
Paradeplatz 6, was built in three stages
between 1940 and 1960, to a design by the
architect Roland Rohn. Reference is
made to Otto Rudolf Salvisberg having won a
competition for the Swiss Bank Corporation
in 1931. I gather that Rohn was
associated with Salvisberg. The occupant of this large office building is the Union Bank of Switzerland. Above the entrance is a large relief sculpture by Franz Fischer. I imagine that Fischer
is also responsible for other sculptures
further along the building's facade.
