Front page: Front cover: The “Katharinen Tower” is reminiscent of the former second tower of the Fraumünster in Zurich, a project by NÜSSLI in honour of the creative power of women throughout the city and the last abbess of the Fraumünster, Katharina von Zimmern, who handed over the Fraumünster Abbey to the city of Zurich 500 years ago. The temporary art installation is on display until December 10. Photo: Federico Farinatti Fotografie.
