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.

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.

The Swiss Architecture Museum S AM in Basel, 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 director since 2016.

Peter Cachola Schmal is the director, Oliver Elser is a curator, and Anna-Maria Mayerhofer and Jennifer Dyck are members of the curatorial team at Deutsches Architekturmuseum DAM in Frankfurt.

Lilli Hollein is the director and Sebastian Hackenschmidt is a curator at Vienna’s MAK—Museum of Applied Arts.

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.

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 #FeesMustFall student protests in Pretoria, the 2019 Acampamento Terra Livre in Brasilia, the 2020–21 Indian Farmers Protests, and the 2022 Freedom Convoy in Ottawa.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 Stalder, and Nina Zschocke, all of whom also teach at ETH Zürich’s Department of Architecture, as well as artistic and documentary photographs, plans, and drawings, illuminate the phenomenon from the different perspectives of architectural practice, theory of architecture, and structural engineering.

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 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.

Jeanne Gang is one of the most distinguished contemporary architects in the United States

Gang’s new programmatic book points the way towards an architecture that responds more fully and effectively to climate change

Highlights that the ancient plant-cultivation technique of grafting is also a highly useful model for architecture and urban 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.

Younger architecture firms in dialogue with the work of Austrian Pritzker Prize laureate Hans Hollein (1934–2014): Almannai Fischer, Baukuh, Bovenbouw, Claudia Cavallar, Asli

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.

Lorenzo De Chiffre is a Vienna-based architect and a Senior Scientist at TU Wien. He is also the author of numerous essays on architecture in books and international journals and magazines.

Theresa Krenn and Benni Eder run their own Vienna-based design and research firm studio ederkrenn and lecture at TU Wien.

“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.

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.

Examines major infrastructure projects for the storage, processing, and analysis of data and for global data transfer, and how they affect politics in Israel and the Middle East region

Shows how architecture, information technology, and power structures intersect in these processes

Features previously unpublished photographs and archival documents alongside new essays by prominent Israeli scholars and researchers

Karin Sander is a Berlin-based artist and a Professor of Art and Architecture at ETH Zürich’s department of architecture.

Philip Ursprung is a Professor of Art and Architectural History at ETH Zürich’s Institute for the History and Theory of Architecture (gta).

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.

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.

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

Explores the neighborhood between the national pavilions of Switzerland and Venezuela in the Giardini of the Venice Biennale and their history

Ten conversations with architects, architectural historians, and photographers reflect on the work of the two pavilions’ architects (Bruno Giacometti and Carlo Scarpa), as well as on architecture and architectural photography in Venezuela

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.

Heike Biechteler is an architect and senior research associate at HSLU’s School of Engineering & Architecture in Lucerne.

Dieter Dietz is an architect and professor of architecture at EPFL in Lausanne.

Johannes Käferstein is head of the Institute of Architecture at HSLU’s School of Engineering & Architecture and a principal of Zurich-based firm Käferstein & Meister Architekten.
