Organization and building
The Swiss pavilion was designed by Swiss architect Bruno Giacometti as part of a design competition and was constructed in 1952. It has multiple rooms linked by courtyards.[1]
Between 1990 and 2009, Switzerland also used the San Stae church as exhibition venue. From 1932 until 1952 Switzerland had another pavilion, designed by Brenno Del Giudice on the island Sant'Elena.[citation needed]
As of 2012, Pro Helvetia has assumed responsibility for the Swiss contributions to the Venice Biennale.[citation needed]
