After developing a deeper understanding of Baukultur roots in the different European countries, the second Seminar Series is dedicated to “themes” and “periods” that have characterised the Swiss practice and debate.
Our first guest is Bruno Reichlin, one of the most important Swiss architects of the 20th century. His achievements in research, teaching and practice have influenced generations of architects. We will see him in conversation with the NRP 81 steering committee members Paola Viganò (President and Professor at EPFL and IUAV), Pierre Caye (Research Director at CNRS Jean Pépin) and Andri Gerber (Professor at ZHAW).
The presentations will be held in English – in presence and online. Please subscribe for the live stream here:
