Last year Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist and architect Carlos Martinez won a competition to redesign the public spaces of the "Bleicheli", the financial district of St. Gallen (regional capital of northeast Switzerland). The proposal "Stadtlounge" or "city lounge" is now built. Check the photos here (via dezain) and super thorough documentation Swiss style here (in German but with tons of images) | 360° Panorama

She's not the girl who misses much ...

Wow - where did you find that?
I don't follow her work, not a fan. But this carpet installation is really amazing. It feels/looks so fluid, like when snow blankets the world, but the red and artificiality of it is so cool.
Reminds me a bit of the PS-1 installation, was it Hernan Diaz Alonso? Just in the use of the curvy red - but this is so relentless in its installation, not discrete elements but a flood. I love it.
I found it in the center pompidou website, they have many more videos of the lectures by the way.
