Synopsis:

Five iconic installations: one mobile and four fixed "Arteplage" locations; 500 individual structures in transition from experimental architecture to scenographics; 45 international designer teams. Fascinating illustrations, exact detailed plans and instructive texts portray the architecture of the Expo in all its complexity: from Pipilotti Rist's Laboratory of Ideas, the visionary models of 1998 and the international competition, through to its fulfilment.

The project concepts are explained by the authors in their own words: Coop Himmelb(l)au and GLS (Biel), Jean Nouvel and GIM (Murten), J. Sbriglio (Neuch tel), and Extasia with T. Kobler/Vehovar + Jauslin, West 8/Diller + Scofidio (Yverdon).

This limited special edition is bound in the original membrane material of the Biel towers.
