Miroslav Sik
Since the beginning of the 1990s, Miroslav Sik has been recognised as one of the actively innovative and analytical spirits of the German-speaking architectural discussion. He seeks the subversive and powerful middle path between banal and over-ambitious architecture.
Miroslav Šik
Miroslav Sik coined the term Analogue Architecture in the late 1980s. It stands for an architectural approach that is oriented towards the existing environment, its atmosphere and the construction tradition in a subtly radical way. It has made Miroslav Sik an unmistakable protagonist in Switzerland and Europe in the last 20 years. He has pursued this dedicated, anti-modernist orientation both as a teacher at the ETH Zurich and in his architectural work, which shows clear continuity since 1988. This monograph compiles his existing buildings and works. Each project pursues his pugnacious architectural stance, which is anything but "modern" or modernist. Even in the simplest construction tasks, Miroslav Sik uncovers and makes tangible the work's intrinsic dignity and noble potential. Text in English and German. 81 colour illustrations
Analogous Old-New Architecture
The terms 'analogous architecture' and 'old-new architecture' are key aspects of the teaching of Miroslav Sik at the ETH Zurich. During his first period there (1983-1991), Sik worked as Senior Assistant at the Chair of Fabio Reinhart and was in effect the spokesman of an architectural movement that became renowned far beyond the borders of Switzerland and is still influential today. In 1986/1991, the compact movement presented itself to the public with a touring exhibition and an accompanying large-scale 'Swiss Box', including chalk perspective drawings of its projects. Miroslav Sik worked as a Full Professor at the ETH Zurich between 1999 and 2018 during his second period there. Since the 1...

Pablo Horváth
Pablo Horvath pursues an architectural direction in which the craftsmanship contrasts with the language of the elegant and trendy design. He has designed a number of remarkable buildings since 1993, among them two idiosyncratic multi-family houses in Chur (2004), and the extension of the school facility in Riom-Parsonz (2006). Text in English and German."

A Critical History of Contemporary Architecture
1960, following as it did the last CIAM meeting, signalled a turning point for the Modern Movement. From then on, architecture was influenced by seminal texts by Aldo Rossi and Robert Venturi, and gave rise to the first revisionary movement following Modernism. Bringing together leading experts in the field, this book provides a comprehensive, critical overview of the developments in architecture from 1960 to 2010. It consists of two parts: the first section providing a presentation of major movements in architecture after 1960, and the second, a geographic survey that covers a wide range of territories around the world. This book not only reflects the different perspectives of its various authors, but also charts a middle course between the 'aesthetic' histories that examine architecture solely in terms of its formal aspects, and the more 'ideological' histories that subject it to a critique that often skirts the discussion of its formal aspects.
And Now the Ensemble!
And Now the Ensemble! versteht sich als Aufforderung an Architekten, Bauherren und Behörden, Städtebau als dynamisches und kollektives Kunstwerk zu verstehen und zu gestalten, kurz: das Dialogische ins Zentrum des Entwurfs zu stellen. Durch seine Gestaltung, Stimmung und Nutzung kann jedes neue Haus eine Beziehung mit seiner lokalen Umgebung aufnehmen. Das Weiterweben als Entwurfsverfahren ahmt das urbane Muster nicht bloss nach, sondern interpretiert das Vorgefundene, modernisiert es moderat, verfremdet das Gewohnte mit Hilfe ungewohnter Stimmungsbilder und verwandelt schliesslich das gewachsene Durcheinander von Solisten in ein orchestriertes Ganzes.
