Swiss Squares takes you on a trip to the most important squares in Switzerland’s larger cities. Views from the past, present and future tell the story of how public squares have developed and how they continue to change.

The app works with Augmented Reality, i.e. the pictures of the squares can be displayed – using GPS – by the smartphone or tablet’s camera. This allows live comparisons between the current situation, past times, future square designs and even alternative plans. At the same time, the app can be used independently of location, for example while you are sitting on your sofa at home.
