An essay by Steven Spier presents an overview of Swiss architecture and considers the cultural attitudes that have fostered such refined buildings, while Martin Tschanz assesses the Swiss tradition of integrating design, local building techniques and engineering that is unlike anywhere else in the world. The show more work of each architect is shown via a profile and three to six projects, documented through plans, drawings and photogaphs specially commissioned by renowned photographer Christian Richters. show lessTags
