Developed in the university environment of the Technical University Munich, curetin® contains carefully selected micro and macronutrients to supply the body with a comprehensive mix of nutrients to help repair its tissue after operations. “curetin® contains exactly those nutrients that support and speed up the healing process,” explains Curetic’s director Simon Krämer. “curetin® is available in different boxes for various purposes,” he continues. “The three boxes each contain a mix of sachets with the right nutrients depending on the circumstances and the specific stage of recovery.” The quintessential four-week box supports the body prior to an operation and is continued thereafter (or after any inju-
ry) as it boosts general tissue formation. It can also be used for short-term problems of wound healing. The eight-week box is designed for severe cases, again pre- and postoperative as well as for patients with chronic healing problems. A perfect solution for spontaneous ones is the ten-day box, created to help recover from smaller injuries or operations. Clinical trials back patients’ testimonies that they feel healthy quicker and resume their normal lives sooner. Given that our bodies are our most valuable assets, it should receive all the help it can get during its vulnerable times. curetin® can be purchased online at the following website or on Amazon.

Expecting the unexpected

Creating space for people from alpine heights to tropical forests Architects like to talk about the singularity of clients and sites – and that their designs incorporate that difference. The Zurich-based architect Philip Loskant has a walk-over on that: his projects cover a wide range such as a small school for an Indian NGO in the Himalayas, an office building for a tax optimiser in the Swiss canton of Zug, a guest house in the tropical south of India, a family hotel high up in the Swiss Alps and more. “It’s not only the individual character that makes the difference,” says Loskant. “It’s their cultural background that distinguishes people. Modern life is a mix of longing for the commonly known and searching for the individual new.” Philip Loskant has focused on that mix – by experience and curiosity. After growing up in Germany, he studied architecture in Switzerland and India and worked for architects in New York and Berlin. The outcome of his own work is an architecture of “unexpected traditionalism”. The ‘Frutt Family Lodge’ in the central Swiss Alps for example expresses the 88 | Issue 49 | April 2017
guests’ longing for comfortable traditional Swiss alpine architecture on the one hand and their curiousness for the unexpected on the other; the building volumes look traditional and unexpected at the same time. The lobby and restaurant have a known cosy modern alpine chic, but the wellness area is a fascinating underworld to be discovered. “Architecture is nothing else but creating space for people. They want to feel comfortable with the known and from that base of certainty want to experience the new. The architect’s task is to put a play between expectations and the unexpected
on stage,” explains Loskant. “So, the first question is: what does the client expect?” www.philiploskant.ch
