S AM 10 - Bildbau/Building Images

Gion Caminadas Totenstube in Vrin, Peter Zumthor's Therme in Vals, the Olympic Stadium in Beijing by Herzog & de Meuron - almost everyone knows these famous buildings, but not everyone has visited them: Our perceptions of contemporary architecture are often influenced by photographs. It is a panorama of the last twenty-five years of Swiss architecture. Iconic buildings that have contributed to the global success of Swiss construction are presented not with plans and models, but solely through photography. Artistic positions engage in dialogue with architectural photography. The publication showcases exemplary photographs and highlights in its analytical section the mediatization of architecture. What role do images play in design? Which architects prefer which photographers? How can architecture be translated into images? An exciting publication about how we perceive and document architecture.
