Switzerland a Guide to Recent Architecture
- Binding: Paperback

Description:
The selection of projects in this guide aims to provide an insight into around 100 projects with access for visitors. Many of the projects are located far from the bustle of cities, making it easy to combine a skiing or hiking holiday with an architectural excursion -- Switzerland has a finely-tuned tourist industry. Those not entirely satisfied by the architecture will have the consolation of the stunning landscapes.
Expand description
The past two decades have seen an extraordinary number of innovative buildings realised by a generation of young Swiss architects. Reacting against the light-hearted and colourful imagery of post-modernism, the fragmentation of deconstructivism, and the accelerating fashion in styles of building, architects are looking towards a more generic architecture, an architecture searching for articulation devoid of predetermined formal meanings -- an architecture without style.
