Beyond Peter Zumthor and Herzog & de Meuron, numerous Swiss architects have shaped the contemporary architectural scene. This book documents 25 buildings in Switzerland, designed by 15 influential Swiss architects. Occupying a variety of sites, from urban locations to Alpine environs, the buildings demonstrate how advanced construction techniques can be combined with traditional materials, skillful engineering, and great craftsmanship.
