Centre William Rappard, International organization headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland
The Centre William Rappard features a classical architectural design with a prominent central cupola and geometric elements spread across its five-story structure.
Constructed between 1923 and 1926, the building initially served as the International Labour Office headquarters before becoming the World Trade Organization base in 1995.
The Centre contains numerous art installations, including Maurice Denis's paintings and murals by Dean Cornwell, representing themes of international cooperation and labor.
Located at Rue de Lausanne 154, the building maintains strict security protocols, though guided tours can be arranged through official channels with advance notice.
The 2013 renovation integrated an innovative glass annex designed by Jens Wittfoht, transforming the north courtyard into an atrium while preserving historical elements.
