The architecture of German-speaking Switzerland is probably the most important wave in contemporary architecture. Its contribution within the unique context that followed the post-modern crisis of the 1970s is quite significant. For as long as architecture has existed, theory and practice have rarely been so intricately merged into a single productive force. Drawing from the lively inspiration of the thoughts and works of the main protagonists of the period (Peter Zumthor, Diener and Diener, Herzog and de Meuron, Burkhalter and Sumi, Miroslav Šik, Gion A. Caminada, Christian Kerez...), Emeline Curien clearly renders the complexity of a problematic web of incredible semantic richness. Exploring a vast design space, historically structured around the notion of construction, this fascinating book offers the reader a valuable overview. He takes a fresh look at one of the most significant collective contributions to the architecture of our time.
