Part II: talking ar<strong>ch</strong>itecture, practice …<br />
and a tou<strong>ch</strong> of the Swiss.<br />
This second series of events looks at the<br />
practice of ar<strong>ch</strong>itecture today: the<br />
business of being an ar<strong>ch</strong>itect. It includes<br />
the insight of working on a global<br />
scale offered by Christoph S<strong>ch</strong>aub and<br />
Mi<strong>ch</strong>ael S<strong>ch</strong>indhelm’s film ‘Bird’s<br />
Nest’, on Herzog and de Meuron’s work in<br />
China, but also the personal views of<br />
key Swiss and British practitioners,<br />
academics and writers participating in<br />
two major round-table discussions.<br />
These will compare and contrast shared<br />
and differing aspects of the two ar<strong>ch</strong>itectural<br />
cultures of Switzerland and the<br />
UK: resear<strong>ch</strong>, polyte<strong>ch</strong>nic education,<br />
competitions, the construction industry,<br />
exploring key influences on tea<strong>ch</strong>ing<br />
and practice today.<br />
