Summary "Contemporary architecture in Switzerland is influenced by Peter Zumthor and Herzog & de Meuron, recipients of the Swiss Pritzker Prize, as well as a number of other prominent architects. The book presents 25 buildings in Switzerland designed by 16 influential Swiss architects: The range covers high-density urban developments through to rural sites in the alpine environment, with examples of traditional craftsmanship and materials, and modern construction technology and engineering. Large-format photographs illustrate the buildings' proportions, materials, and details. Four authors analyze the Swiss building culture and its high architectural quality from an insider's and an outsider's point of view. In a detailed interview, Peter Zumthor explains his approach to architectural design."--Provided by publisher.
Nicht nur die Schweizer Pritzker-Preisträger Peter Zumthor und Herzog & de Meuron, auch andere Architekten prägen die zeitgenössische Architekturszene. Das Buch dokumentiert 25 Gebäude in der Schweiz, entworfen von 16 einflussreichen Schweizer Architekten. Die Bandbreite der Projekte reicht vom dichten urbanen Raum bis ins alpine Umfeld; sie verbinden Ingenieurs- und Handwerkskunst mit traditionellen Materialien und moderner Bautechnik. Großformatige Fotos machen Proportionen, Materialien und Details der Bauten erlebbar. Mit dem Blick von innen wie auch von außen analysieren vier Autoren die Vielfalt der Schweizer Baukultur sowie die Grundlagen ihrer hohen architektonischen Qualität. In einem ausführlichen Interview gibtPeter Zumthor Einblick in seine Auffassung der Baukunst.
