David K. Ross' photographic series, Archetypes will be exhibited at the Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel from the 28th August to the 31st October. Façade mock-ups for Caruso St John's Swiss Life Arena feature as part of exhibition.

The arena was theatrically lit at night and isolated from the building, with the resulting images aiming to demonstrate how pre-constructed architectural components have become a charged form of proto-architecture.
