Schweizweit
Architects reflect on relevant, inspiring and trailblazing building projects
A visual atlas of contemporary Swiss architecture with more than 480 photographs
With positions by Christ & Gantenbein, EM2N, Conradin Clavout, Made in, Buzzi studio d’architettura u.v.m.
While the image of Swiss architecture, above all internationally, is still greatly marked by the 1990s and Minimalism, buildings recently constructed or currently under construction are regionally differentiated and heterogeneous – Swiss Architectures, not Swiss Architecture.
Thanks to the collaboration of almost 160 architecture offices, Schweizweit constitutes a kind of instantaneous take on current building production in Switzerland.
Each essay is in the respective author’s language (German, French or Italian) and in English translation.
The exhibition of the same name at the S AM Schweizerisches Architekturmuseum will run until the beginning of May 2017.
