The architect Jean Tschumi (February 14th, 1904 - January 25th, 1962), born in Geneva, is one of the most important representatives of modern architecture in Switzerland. His architectural work focused on France and Switzerland, and his best-known building is the Nestle headquarters in Vevey, for which he received the distinguished Reynolds Prize in 1960.
