Editorial “The outstanding quality and functional- ity of our products has made it possible to complete major building projects all over the world. ‘View’ features examples of our broad involvement in the inter- national architecture field and gives you a deeper insight into our philosophy.” Strong companies make advances during times of crisis. This is also true of Geberit. In recent years, we were able to steadily strengthen our position as market leader on an international scale. Major construction projects are being realized all over the world with our products. We are now also focusing on other target groups – end customers, architects and interior designers. This new reference magazine “View” is a result of this development and is intended to serve as a beacon in this domain. “View” features a wide range of topics showing our broad involvement in international architectural projects and design, giving you a deeper insight into our philosophy. Our clear commitment to innovation is part of our corporate identity and is a central element of the Geberit brand. For this reason, we invest considerable resources in new and further development of our products and technology. Our mission is to improve the quality of people’s lives. Sustainability plays a central role in our considerations, and the global trend towards sustainable construction means that investors, contractors and the sanitary industry are constantly having to face new challenges. We already today supply water- saving and energy-saving, low-noise and durable products that meet sustain- able construction standards, such as those used in the green building “Le Monolithe” in Lyon (page 32), the new opera house in Guangzhou (page 26) and the Hepworth Wakefield Gallery in the North of England (page 20). I am pleased to be able to present to you outstanding international buildings designed by renowned architects such as Zaha Hadid, David Chipperfield and Gigon/Guyer on the following pages, and hope you find the articles exciting, informative and enjoyable.
