House of Switzerland
The House of Switzerland is a Swiss hospitality centre, meeting point, and social hub. The new house ("Swiss Mobile House") was developed by Presence Switzerland in 2013, for the 2014 Winter Olympics; on 15 February 2014, Vladimir Putin visited it and ate a raclette there.[1]
The concept was already used in events such as the 2012 Summer Olympics. The new house (not depicted) is made for the 2014 Winter Olympics but designed to be re-used.
The prefabricated house is designed to be mobile and re-used in other future occasions, such as Expo 2015.[2]
