In the history of architecture, landscapes determined the location and the form of settlements. There is no such thing as Baukultur without landscapes. For the past century, Swiss architecture and landscape architecture have been closely intertwined and recognized world-wide for their quality, innovation, sensitivity to place, material culture, and plant life. Swiss thinkers and designers have always made it clear that landscape may never be reduced to a surrounding for buildings and landscape architects must not considered as their simple beautifiers. Together with Georges Descombes, Anette Freytag and Annemarie Bucher, we explore the genealogy of landscape architecture in Switzerland and what Swiss ness means in this context. The presentations will be held in English – in presence and online. Please subscribe for the live stream here: |
