To commemorate the golden jubilee of the building of the Swiss Embassy in New Delhi, the Embassy of Switzerland has announced the forthcoming year as the Year of Swiss Architecture, Design and Engineering in India.
The building of the Swiss Embassy in New Delhi completes 50 years today - July 04, 2013
Designed by Swiss architect Hans Hofmann and realized posthumously by his young collaborator Walter Ruegg, the edifice was inaugurated in presence of the then Prime Minister of India Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on July 04, 1963.
This Swiss Embassy is recognized as a significant architectural landmark in New Delhi.... It symbolizes and stands for the strong bond that India and Switzerland have shared through these years. Like the relationship between the two countries this building has emerged stronger with time, and like the friendship between the two countries, it has become timeless.
Heartiest congratulations to all those who have been associated with it at some point or other!
