The new SAY Swiss Architecture Yearbook is the first of its kind in
Switzerland. Jointly edited by the Basel-based Swiss Architecture
Museum S AM and the renowned architecture journal werk,
bauen+wohnen on behalf of the Stiftung Architektur Schweiz, it
reflects the country’s remarkably diverse architectural creation
and provides international visibility for the outstanding quality of
Swiss architecture and building culture.
Yet SAY is more than a mere selection of the best: it thoroughly
examines current topics that concern many people at the time
of a construction boom in the country and amid the increasingly
felt effects of climate change. From a list of well over a hundred
nominees from all parts of the country, 36 projects were selected
by an international jury for SAY’s inaugural 2023/24 edition.
The featured projects are supplemented by topical essays that
look at the most pressing questions in Swiss architecture discourse,
at the characteristics of Swiss architecture today, and
examine what lasting contribution it makes to the quality of life
in all parts of the country.
The inaugural edition of the
new SAY Swiss Architecture
Yearbook
Stiftung Architektur Schweiz SAS, established
in 2022, supports and promotes national and
international visibility of and the professional
dialogue on architecture and building culture in
Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

founded in 1984 and active under its current
name since 2006, is Switzerland’s leading
institution for the display of and dialogue on
contemporary architecture. Andreas Ruby is an
art historian and educator serving as S AM’s

Zurich-based Boltshauser Architekten, which also runs a
branch office in Munich, is one of most successful and idiosyncratic
Swiss design firms. Precise examination of materials and
their constructive potential is combined in their buildings with a
profound understanding of ecological issues. Many of their realized
designs of varied scale and typology have won international
awards. Founder Roger Boltshauser has set himself the goal of
finding new forms and solutions for the architectural challenges
of our time.
The elegant book Roger Boltshauser—Response reviews 12 of
Boltshauser Architekten’s key and recent buildings in a threestep
presentation of plan, photograph, and sketch. Italian Swiss
architecture photographer Luca Ferrario’s atmospheric images,
Roger Boltshauser’s own artistic hand drawings, and the sections,
axonometries, and floor plans produce a multilayered picture
of the practice’s oeuvre.

Over three decades, Dhaka-based architecture firm Kashef
Chowdhury / URBANA has produced an astonishing collection
of works of divergent scales, typologies, and contexts located
in one of the most meteorologically challenging regions in the
world. A hospital introduced into an economy decimated by rising
oceans, a shelter against cyclones in Bangladesh’s southern
coastal region, and architectural interventions in one of the
world’s densest metropolitan areas: Kashef Chowdhury / UR-
BANA’s designs are incisive, critical responses to varied issues
and urgencies rooted in the belief that architecture must be a
reflection of, and sympathetic to, increasingly fragile ecological
conditions.
“The changing climate is no longer
debatable in Bangladesh, it is this
country’s unfeigned, monstrous
reality.” Kashef Chowdhury
Meditations in Entropy is the first comprehensive book on the
work of Kashef Chowdhury / URBANA. It features 16 of the
firm’s designs in detail through photographs by acclaimed architectural
photographer Hélène Binet as well as numerous
plans, drawings, sketches, and other images. Perceptive essays
are contributed by eminent critics and historians, Kenneth
Frampton, Robert McCarter, and William J.R. Curtis. A conversation
between Chowdhury, Swiss architect Niklaus Graber, and
distinguished architectural historian Philip Ursprung, further
analyzing URBANA’s unique approach, rounds off this volume.

Conquering the extremes: LIQUIFER Systems Group, a design
and research firm based in Vienna and Bremen, has been addressing
the issue of human life on planet Earth and elsewhere
in the universe for two decades. Their work demonstrates how
considerate technology-based design solutions and careful use
of available resources can enable us to live in space. Their concepts,
feasibility studies, and technological developments all
deal with the key issue of scarcity that defines life everywhere:
on Mars, on the Moon, in orbit as well as on Earth. LIQUIFER
Systems Group’s projects range from a simulated Mars mission
in Spain’s Rio Tinto region and the interior design for the habitation
module of the planned Gateway space station, to the EDEN
ISS mobile greenhouse in Antarctica and biogenerative studies
in which microbes are integrated into buildings to generate energy
and recycle materials.
LIQUIFER. Living Beyond Earth is the first book to present the
practice’s groundbreaking work. It features spectacular images
and visualizations, detailed plans, and drawings that are supplemented
with essays by renowned American space architects
Brent Sherwood and Christina Ciardullo. It enables the reader to
delve into the visionary world of Europe’s leading space design
firms.
Designing in the extreme: LIQUIFER
Systems Group pushes the boundaries
of all living spaces and develops

Paris-based Gaëtan Le Penhuel Architectes & Associés have
acquired great expertise in the construction of school buildings
over nearly 30 years, having made their name in this field with
pioneering designs. Based on this wealth of experience, Gaëtan
Le Penhuel now presents ABC: Schools of the Future. Best Design
Practices, a compact and charming guide to developing school
buildings for the future that meet the needs of students.
Each of the ten chapters focuses on one key part of these structures,
such as the classroom, the school yard, the hallway, the
auditorium, and so on. In conversation with architectural publicist
Alice Dubet, Le Penhuel outlines pathways to better school
architecture, and points out obstacles to overcome and mistakes
to avoid. Quentin Vijoux’s illustrations provide easy visual access
to the concepts of Gaëtan Le Penhuel Architectes & Associés—
not only for architects and teachers, but also for students and
their parents.

Protest movements shape public space not only through their
messages, but in many cases also through their—mostly temporary—buildings.
Frankfurt’s Deutsches Architekturmuseum
DAM and Vienna’s MAK—Museum of Applied Arts are exploring
this thesis in a joint exhibition project. The exhibition and
the book coinciding with it explore the topic based on examples
spanning from 1830 to 2022.
170 encyclopedia entries and 14 case
studies of protest architecture over
more than 190 years, from the
1830 July Revolution in Paris to the
2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa
Protest Architecture is the first-ever international survey of the
architecture of protest and presents it in all its manifold forms
and, in some cases, ambivalence. It is conceived as an encyclopedia
with around 170 entries, supplemented by 14 more
expansive case studies. A preceding chronology portrays some
80 protest movements and their architectural manifestations
through concise texts and one image each, including examples
from all over the world, such as the 1830 July Revolution
in Paris, the 1848 March Revolution in Berlin, the 1911 Sugar
Workers Strike in Queensland (Australia), the 1936–37 General
Motors Sit-down Strike in Flint, MI (USA), the 1969–98 Troubles
in Northern Ireland, Freetown Christiania in Copenhagen since
1971, the 1986 People Power Revolution in Manila, the 1999 WTO
Protests in Seattle, WA (USA), the 2011 Arab Spring revolutions
on Cairo’s Tahrir Square and Manama’s Pearl Roundabout, the
2013–14 Euromaidan uprisings in Kyiv, the 2015–16 #FeesMust-
Fall student protests in Pretoria, the 2019 Acampamento Terra
Livre in Brasilia, the 2020–21 Indian Farmers Protests, and the
2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, the open-air playground was a
social laboratory. Innovative, wacky, educational, and exciting
playground designs emerged in European and American cities,
as well as elsewhere around the world: artists, landscape designers,
architects, and activists sought to provide children with
the best possible place to play, while also reimagining cities and
communities.
A much-expanded new edition of this
widely acclaimed book on playground
design around the world
First published in 2018, The Playground Project instantly became
a classic. This much-expanded new edition brings back
the wealth of ideas of that period to inspire us today. It offers
many previously unpublished images, numerous new portraits,
especially of female protagonists of the time, as well as findings
from the latest research on playground design. An incisive introductory
essay places the playground at the intersections of education,
architecture, urban politics, design history, and leisure
policy. A detailed focus is placed on the forgotten history of playgrounds
in the former German Democratic Republic. Moreover,
young researchers explore the culture of memory surrounding
the Shek Lei Playground in Hong Kong, and the role that playgrounds
played in the process of state-building in Mexico.
The book is a tribute to play in public spaces and a rich source
for architects, designers, students, children, and political actors.
Gabriela Burkhalter is an urban designer and
political scientist based in Basel. She has been
working in playground design research since
2008 and curated the exhibition The Playground
Project, which traveled to the United States
(Pittsburgh), Switzerland (Zurich), Britain
(Newcastle), Russia (Moscow), Ireland (Carlow),
Germany (Bonn and Frankfurt), Italy (Venice),
and Sweden (Lund) between 2014 and 2022.

An in-depth examination of
the concept of performance in
an architectural context
The term “performance,” as used in 1955 by the British philosopher
of language John L. Austin, refers to processual, “performative”
aspects that take center-stage instead of rigid states
and fixed norms. It has found its way into the most diverse
areas of science and technology and has recently also appeared
in the architectural context. Performance has long been a recurring
topic also in the design and research work of Zurich-based
architecture firm Edelaar Mosayebi Inderbitzin (EMI). This is
particularly visible in the award-winning design for a tourist infrastructure
on the eastern ridge of the Jungfrau in the Swiss
Alps (2012), in the temporary installation Amorphous Form for
the Swiss Art Awards (2019), and in the residential building on
Stampfenbachstrasse in Zurich (2022).
Their own work is a catalyst for EMI’s deeper engagement with
performance, now set forth in this book. Texts by the firm’s
founding partner Elli Mosayebi and by Joseph Schwartz, Laurent

Blackheath and Greenwich, in the southeast of London, proved
to be an unusually fertile ground for modern architecture in
the decades following WWII. Housing in particular became the
prime field of work for many architecture firms, who designed a
large number of residential buildings of various typologies, using
new concepts and trying new solutions, inspired by the spirit
and political developments of the time.
Modern Buildings in Blackheath and Greenwich is based on an extensive
research project by architect Ana Francisco Sutherland.
It analyzes and celebrates outstanding buildings by well-known
architects such as Eric Lyons, Patrick Gwynne, Peter Moro, Walter
Greaves, and Chamberlin, Powell & Bon, alongside works by
lesser-known firms. A total of 65 individual buildings and housing
developments by 38 architects are featured with images,
plans, and concise texts.
Sutherland also takes a broader look at the evolution of modern
English architecture in the context of social and housing policies
of the time. Brief biographical portraits reveal personal connections
between protagonists that made Blackheath and Greenwich
such an extraordinary field of design experimentation over
five decades.
An extensively researched and
carefully designed tribute and guide to
the post-WWII residential architecture
of Blackheath and Greenwich in the
southeast of London
An enclosed map with suggested routes makes the volume also
a guide of extraordinary detail for architects and architecture
lovers alike.
Ana Francisco Sutherland has run her own
London-based studio, Francisco Sutherland
Architects, since 2015. Prior to that she worked
with Kees Christiaanse Architects and Planners
in Rotterdam and Allies & Morrison in London.
She lives in Blackheath (London) and has done
the designs for the reconstruction of a number
of postwar modernist apartments and houses.

Jeanne Gang, one of America’s most distinguished contemporary
architects, proposes using the ancient plant-cultivation
technique of grafting in architecture and urban design as an
effective way to address the pressing issue of climate change.
Grafting is the biological process of connecting two separate
living plants so they can grow and function as one. Motivated
by both human need and desire, it is an ancient practice that
continues to be performed today in search of more fruitful, palatable,
and resilient varieties of plants.
Grafting is also an incredibly useful and untapped paradigm for
how architecture can begin to cope with climate change on a
larger, more impactful scale, because it is predicated upon the
building fabric that we already have. Grafting can become a term
that informs architecture and its many scales, provoking the
imagination while simultaneously lending know-how to tectonic,
programmatic, formal, and regenerative adaptations.
How can architecture respond
effectively to climate change?
Distinguished American architect
Jeanne Gang proposes to apply the
ancient plant-cultivation technique
of grafting to the construction of
buildings.
Jeanne Gang, born in 1964, is an American architect
and founder and leader of Studio Gang,
an architecture and design practice with offices
in Chicago, New York, San Francisco, and Paris.
Gang was first widely recognized for the Aqua
Tower in Chicago, the tallest woman-designed
building in the world at the time of completion
in 2009 and since surpassed by the nearby
St. Regis (Vista Tower), also of her design.

Hermann Czech, born in 1936, is one of Austria’s most eminent
and influential architects and theorists. This influence is based
not only on his work as a designing architect, which extends to
furniture, interiors, and exhibitions. Czech is also widely admired
just as much for his writings on architectural theory and
as the editor and translator of classics of architectural history,
including texts by Otto Wagner, Adolf Loos, Josef Frank, and
Christopher Alexander, among others.
This book is the long-awaited updated and expanded English
edition of the only full monograph on Hermann Czech to date.
First published in German in 2018, it goes far beyond a mere
presentation of an architecture practice’s buildings and projects.
The first part traces what links Czech’s work to the approaches
of Viennese modernism. The second part explores Czech’s biography
and the trajectory of his career, analyzing as well the
contemporary influences that shape his thinking and designs.
The third part features selected buildings and unrealized projects,
setting forth also Czech’s numerous references and underlying
reflections. A complete index of his buildings, projects,
and writings, an essay by Vienna-based philosopher Elisabeth
Nemeth on the relationship between architecture and philosophy
in Czech’s work, and an introduction by architectural historian
Liane Lefaivre round off this volume.

Hans Hollein (1934–2014), Austria’s only Pritzker Prize laureate
(1985) and a self-proclaimed avant-gardist of the 1960s, was a
meticulous curator of his own work throughout his life. At the
same time, the reception of this work was often overshadowed
by Hollein’s immense personality. Hollein Calling: Architectural
Dialogues explores the Hollein phenomenon from today’s perspective.
In dialogue with the positions of a younger generation,
this book revaluates and brings back into the current discourse
Hollein’s thinking and designs.

The first part offers interviews with 15 European firms in which
they talk about their relationship to Hollein and his oeuvre, ranging
from profound knowledge or selective admiration of specific
aspects to skepticism and criticism. Topics such as cultural
identity, visual worlds, design tools, and architecture as an independent
cultural production run as a thread through these
conversations. The second part features a selection of Hollein’s
buildings through sketches, models, photographs, prototypes,
and documents from the Archive Hans Hollein, Az W and MAK,
Vienna—many of which are published here for the first time—as
well as new contextualizing texts. The two sections are connected
by a grid of key terms formed of pertinent texts and images.

Major projects directed by Israel’s
government for the storage, analysis,
and transmission of data cause shifts
in political power structures in the
Middle East region. Taking these infrastructures
as an example, this book
reflects on geopolitical processes and
the dynamics between architecture,
political power, and surveillance.
“Cloud-to-ground” is the scientific term for lightning that strikes
directly into the ground. The title of this book, published in conjunction
with the Israeli Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture
Exhibition of the Venice Biennale, is derived from this.
It investigates the shifts in political power structure that result
from the widespread use of cloud technology: the storage, processing,
and analysis of inconceivable amounts of data in computer
“clouds.” The focus is on large infrastructure projects
currently underway in Israel and the Middle East region. These
include Nimbus, a major cloud project pursued by Israel’s
government for which Google and Amazon are building new
powerful data centers, and the Blue Raman fiber-optic cable
across the Negev Desert, also laid by Google, which will bypass
Egypt on its way from India to Europe and at the same time revive
the ancient trade routes that passed through this country.
Cloud-to-ground also documents the decommissioning and
demolition of countless telephone exchanges in Israel’s cities
that have become obsolete. It thus brings to attention the
physical nature of these largely ignored “black box” structures
and connects them to the history of the Middle East and recent
developments in global communication technology. Essays by
prominent Israeli scholars are complemented by numerous
photographs, sketches, and archival documents, as well as a
newly compiled index of 140 telephone exchanges in Israel.

The Swiss Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition
of the Venice Biennale exhibits itself and its relations to
its immediate surroundings. The exhibition is a conversation
over the shared boundary of the pavilions of Switzerland (1952,
designed by Bruno Giacometti) and Venezuela (1954, designed
by Carlo Scarpa), the only two in the Giardini not fully detached:
they share one wall. Artist Karin Sander and art historian Philip
Ursprung temporarily open this wall and dismantle the gates
from the Swiss Pavilion, thus revealing unanticipated connections
between the two neighbors, both distant and close.
A reflection on the neighborhood
between the Swiss and Venezuelan
Pavilions at the Venice Biennale, and
on how we can learn through exchange
with neighbors rather than competing
with one another
The complementing book Neighbours offers a manifesto, a play
with the two buildings as dramatis personae, and three brief
topical essays. Ten conversations with figures such as architectural
historian Kurt W. Forster, photographers Paolo Gasparini
and Guido Giudi, and Venezuelan architects Elisa Silva and Margarita
López-Maya round off this volume.
Karin Sander is a Berlin-based artist and a Professor
of Art and Architecture at ETH Zürich’s

What role does drawing play in architectural education? How
is drawing used as an instrument for communication, investigation,
and representation in architecture and the construction
industry? This book assembles contributions to the 2021 edition
of the Lucerne Talks, the biennial Symposium on Pedagogy in Architecture
at HSLU’s School of Engineering and Architecture in
Lucerne. Drawing in Architecture Education and Research offers a
closer look at the importance of drawing culture in the curricula
of Swiss schools of architecture and in the practice of architecture
firms.
Conceived as a compendium and reference book for students,
teachers, and practitioners alike, this book explores the potential
of drawing as a universal tool for communication and understanding
among different societies, language groups, and
professional communities. It considers drawing in its dual function
as an object and a method for theory and practice in architecture,
and features strategies for a future transdisciplinary
language of drawing that enables narrations and representations
of new spatial concepts.
