"Swiss architects Marco Graber and Thomas Pulver outline their design practice and present questions and results from a two-year visiting professorship at the ETH Zurich. Themes include the architecture of tourist resorts, thermal baths, and parking facilities, as well as the interplay of dance and architecture. With ca. 500 illustrations and essays by Marco Graber and Thomas Pulver, and Nadine Olonetzky, Andreas Ruby, Axel Simon, and Judit Salt." --Book Jacket.
Within the space of just a few years, Marco Graber and Thomas Pulver have developed several constructions and numerous projects in their two offices in Bern and Zürich, always taking a new, intelligent, and highly imaginative approach to the urban and architectural idiosyncrasies of the locations and activating and utilizing their potential for their own projects.
"... works designed and built by fifty architects, all of them under forty ..., chosen from among those entered for the International Borromini Prize for Architecture ..."--Back cover
Staged paths and innovative floorplan concepts
By no means exhaustive, this guide to Swiss contemporary architecture offers the reader a glimpse of some especially innovative designs throughout the Helvetian Confederation. The examples depicted are set in stunning Swiss landscapes.
Among the most prominent of a new generation of Spanish architects, this Seville-based team has transformed the practice of architecture with the theory that "a building should explain itself." Through a language of industrial materials, Antonio Cruz and Antonio Ortiz demonstrate their technological prowess while at the same time creating simple geometries expressive of a spare modernism. Their work displays a remarkable ability to fuse the traditional architecture of their native Seville with the novelty of their abstract explorations of form. Works presented include Seville's Santa Justa Train Station, the Madrid Community Sports Stadium, the Huelva Bus Station, and a Housing Estate project in Tharsis. Cruz/Ortiz also contains a complete chronology of buildings and projects and an introduction by Rafael Moneo. The monograph documents the team's impressive work through numerous photographs and drawings, accompanied by project descriptions and commentary. Cruz and Ortiz are the recipients of the First National Prize for Spanish Architecture. Their work has been exhibited internationally
