With the Swiss Performance, the editorial team of archithese presents groundbreaking or controversial buildings at the beginning of each year that have been realized in Switzerland or by Swiss architects worldwide in the past twelve months. This is not just about representations through text, images, and plans, but also about contextualization, meta-levels, and sub-contexts of the works - in short: comprehensive architectural critiques. Are there new or established themes that need to be addressed and discussed? Alongside the seasoned veterans, we also showcase compelling designs from young firms. This turns the retrospective into a prospect. Look forward to more than a dozen fresh projects.
