The Stiftung Architektur Schweiz SAS (Swiss Architecture Foundation) presents the second edition of the Swiss Architecture Yearbook (available from September 26)!
An independent selection committee chose 30 projects and four special mentions from a pool of 158 nominations. The accompanying exhibition at the S AM Swiss Architecture Museum in Basel showcases Baukultur from all regions of Switzerland. The show is an invitation to reflect on central questions in contemporary architecture: Which topics are relevant today? Which projects demonstrate exemplary solutions? And what might the future hold for building in Switzerland?
Exhibition Curators: Andreas Ruby and Yuma Shinohara
