Swiss Sensibility by Anna Roos Pdf

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.

Birkhäuser Architectural Guide Switzerland by Mercedes Daguerre,Roman Hollenstein Pdf

Whether it be Calatrava's elegant bridges in Seville or Barcelona, Peter Zumthor's beautiful thermal baths in Vals, Switzerland, Dominique Perrault's Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, or Tadao Ando's museum building on the island Naoshima, these are just a few structures which have been celebrated around the world, making their architects household names. In the 20th century, we have seen striking buildings scatter our town-scapes, awe-inspiring skyscrapers shape our skylines, and beautiful bridges span our rivers. Growing numbers of people are becoming aware of the architectural environment around them and are taking an interest in the issues which are at the heart of our built surroundings.

Architecture by Philip Jodidio Pdf

"The relationship between contemporary architecture and nature is fundamental to today's creativity. Some architects reject nature or imagine that they can create an artificial world of their own - while others are seeking new ways, aided by science and the computer, to chart new directions for the buildings of tomorrow. From ecologically-oriented designs to the most astonishing new forms, this book shows how essential nature remains to architecture."--BOOK JACKET.

Swiss Chalet Book by William S.B. Dana Pdf

Here William S. B. Dana, B.S., presents an in-depth and precise depiction of the breathtaking architectural masterpieces known as the Swiss Chalets. The culmination of elaborate conversations with the designers, the builders, and the experts on these spectacular buildings, here is a piece of design history that is not to be missed. A style of German origin, Swiss Chalets were best known for their large windows, ornate carvings, and balconies. Often they were brightly painted, and had gabled roofs with great overhanging eaves. These stunning aristocratic homes decorated the Swiss countryside in the nineteenth century, and later could be seen throughout the rest of the world. New Chalets, as they were called, rose up in Norway and Sweden, and finally even crossed the Atlantic, appearing in places as unexpected as Ohio and New Jersey. Through delicate language and lines, Dana expresses both the science and the art behind the simple structural elements and the most complex details of the chalets. This book, a 1913 original, displays diagrams, architectural plans, and photographs to best convey the different fundamentals and models of Swiss Chalets. The author’s research of this beautiful art form cultivates knowledge and appreciation of this great architectural style.

Swiss Lessons by Aurélie Blanchard,Harry Gugger,Gwendolyn Kerschbaumer,Götz Menzel Pdf

This book takes a look at Switzerland in 2048: what will the country look like in 35 years from an architectural, an urbanistic point of view. Extrapolating from figures of the last five years, a population of 15 million people is assumed. Even if growth in population is lower, demographic development will affect and transform the country's inhabitable territory and increase pressure on existing urban and rural areas and infrastructure dramatically. Existing categories, e.g. city, suburb, farmland, or wilderness, will be put to question. Eight years after 'Switzerland: An Urban Portrait', a vast and influential research project carried-out by ETH Studio Basel (part of ETH Zurich), laba's students and teachers have been looking again at Switzerland's present state and present an outlook on urban and spatial developments for the forthcoming 35 years. Besides of abstract analysis of the territorial constitution, the students have designed specific urban interventions that again test the results of that analysis. Research findings and student projects are presented in spectacular graphics and maps, striking images, and plans.
