High style in the Alps


Heidi wouldn't recognise the place - today even Alpine supermarkets are at the cutting edge of design.

Brooding ominously by the Thames, Tate Modern is a key symbol of London as a centre of art, architecture and design.

To Switzerland, of course, and the award-winning practice of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron.
