描述

The international reputation of contemporary Swiss Architecture is often linked to its German- and Italian-speaking regions. In 1998, theorist and critic Martin Steinmann turned his attention to the rich production of the French-speaking region, as well as its elegance – “that mutable idea that in its classic interpretation combines simplicity, serenity, and a certain sensuality”. Prefaced by architectural historian Jacques Gubler, this volume offers an overview of more than a dozen architectural works designed by the Geneva-based agency meier + associés architectes over the last 25 years, spread across the country’s francophone region.
