A Gathering Space . Address Piazzale della Stazione Santa Lucia 30121 Venice Italy http://www.thelighthouse.co.uk/content/scotlandandvenice0 8/100,238/AGatheringSpace.html

. In May 2008, Gareth Hoskins Architects won an anonymous competition to design 'A Gathering Space', Scotland's first ever stand-alone pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2008. The practice saw off competition from over 50 Scottish practices to win the project which was backed by the Scottish Government and the Lighthouse, Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the City. The 7m high structure consists of a partially cantilevered set of steps that is constructed entirely from locally photo: Gareth Hoskins Architects sourced Scottish larch. The form of the structure creates an enclosed area underneath that can hold up to 100 people, and the steps become a gathering space for up to 200 people. During the Biennale 'A Gathering Space' was situated in a major piazza outside the train station overlooking the Grand Canal, and was used for seminars, organised events and informal gatherings. .

G1-G2 Residential building in La Giudecca . Address Corte Grande 30133 Venice Italy

. The twin building bodies overlook a common garden bordered by a high brick wall on the canal. A gap between the two bodies donates to the public Campo a long view toward the garden and the Laguna. The outer brick fronts are rythmed by the high notches of the stairs, while toward the garden high steel and wood towers unify the private balconies, recalling the wooden fishermen’s barracks and the high cranes which mark this side of the Giudecca island. This project is part of a larger urban plan on the island La Giudecca by Cino Zucchi Architects. (also published on MIMOA) .

. The first thing that strikes you about this building is its unique wooden trelliswork façade. In addition to its functional purpose, the warp and weft suggested by the open woodwork pattern is intended to convey the impression of a fabric weave, suggesting a brand statement for the building’s inhabitant, the major fashion and textiles house Hugo Boss. Set at a slight distance from the central core, outside a balcony that runs right around the photo: © Klaus frahm | arturimages building, the façade shields it from rain and the heat of the sun, redoubling the protective action of the glass curtain wall within. In a glass cuboid in prefabricated steel, wood and concrete elements for fast, cost-effective on-site assembly, the building’s houses a reception, conference room and showroom on the ground floor, while the first and second floors are open office workspaces, all set around a central atrium flooded with natural light from a large overhead skylight. .

. This single-family house is located at the foot of the San Giorgio mountain, on the banks of Lake Lugano. The house establishes a dialectic play with the environment, emphasized by its minimal occupation of the site and by the thin metal bridge that establishes the physical relationship between the house and the mountain. The 'tower', virtually defined by four corner piers and carved with geometric cuts through which the light penetrates, is organized along the vertical axis in a succession of different architectural situations and rhythms. The spatial interpenetration between interior and exterior thus gives shape to a 'filter zone', terraces within the perimeter in its functional organization: the upper part holds the entrance atrium, a study, and the stairs leading to the lower floors, where the parents' room is located. These levels are partially open and in communication with the living and dining area below, while the services are placed in the basement. .

Cappella di Santa Maria degli Angeli . Address Alpe Foppa / Monte Tamaro 6802 Rivera Switzerland

. The building 'detaches' itself, as it were, from the mountain to form a new horizon, the starting point of an ideal viaduct. The passageway begins at the natural slope of the mountain, and offers two paths: one, open air, leading out to a belvedere that looks out across the valley, and another leading down inside the walls towards the church entrance beneath. The roof of the chapel is formed by the amphitheatre-type steps, turned back towards the mountain, thereby negating the very idea of a roof photo: Jeroen Meijer and transforming the architectonic gesture into a continuous passageway that offers new mountain views. The plastic forms, the transverse composition, and the innovative configurations make up a kind of 'negative' image gathered beneath the horizon of the walkway. Inside, the circular space of the church has three naves; the lower central one is distinguished at the entrance by two heavy columns, and narrows towards the area of the small apse that protrudes from the main volume of the church. .

Viamala Raststätte Thusis . Address Off Autobahn A13 / Exit Thusis Nord 7430 Thusis Switzerland http://www.viamala-raststaette.ch

. The Viamala Raststätte Thusis is a contemporary roadhouse, located next to the important European road connection between Germany and Italy. It consists of a gas station, a bar, a restaurant, a meeting room and many other facilities. The architects were inspired by their daily work within the Alpine regions and its landscapes. . photo: Thomas Drexler Project is public! . Completion 6-2008 . Architect Iseppi Kurath .

House for a Musician . Address Fravgia 10 7412 Scharans Switzerland

. The house with atelier for musician Linard Bardill occupies the site of a former barn in the old centre of Scharans. To get a planning permission for constructing the new building in the protected historical villagescape, the volume of the old barn had to be rebuilt. For an atelier where he can work properly, Linard Bardill did not even need a third of the footprint of the old stable. The missing volume is surrounded by a red concrete wall covered with a myriad of ornaments. This walled room in the photo: Archive Olgiati random geometry of the old barn receives an unexpected monumentality in this clustered surrounding by a gigantic elliptical opening in the roof (text from website architect). .

Paspels School . Address Alte Domleschgergasse 95 7417 Paspels Switzerland http://www.oberstufepaspels.ch/

. Paspels school is a reinforced concrete monolith. The architect did not use right angles for the outside, so although at first glance the exterior geometry seems simple, closer study reveals a chain-like reaction of slight distortions that shroud the building in an air of strangeness. Inside, however each classroom on the first and second floors has two right-angled sides that make up the walls of cruciform access corridors. In sum, the school can be interpreted as an exercise in the phenomenology of perception. photo: João Morgado .

. Shortly before his death, architect Rudolf Olgiati donated his collection of cultural assets to the municipality of Flims on the condition that 'Das Gelbe Haus' (The Yellow House) in the heart of Flims was rebuilt according to his liking. Before all, it had to be "painted white from top to bottom". In 1997, his son, Valerio Olgiati, was comissioned by the municipality to redesign the house into a museum (text from website museum). .

. With the only thermal spring in Graubünden, the Therme Spa is a stunning landmark built from 60 000 stone slabs of Valser quartzite. Stone by stone. The combinations of light and shade, open and enclosed spaces and linear elements make for a highly sensuous and restorative experience. Only two years after its completion the Therme was listed as a protected building. It has been described as “a lesson in combining audacity with aesthetics“, “a totally unique, yet traditional spa and therapeutic centre that is the last word in peaceful sensuality“, and “a world first in spas”. The Vals quartzite quarried just two kilometres from where the building stands. The great slabs of the roof are grassed over: sections of flower studded alpine meadow. . photo: Henry Pierre Schultz Project is public! . Completion 1996 . Architect Peter Zumthor .

Annalisa Zumthor House . Address Leis 7132 Vals Switzerland

. The small idyllic Swiss village of Leis is expanding in the form of two new houses, designed by Swiss architect Peter Zumthor of thermal bath fame. The lower of the two is called the Annalisa Zumthor House in honor of Zumthor’s wife for whom the house was built. The other is a rental. Both houses are constructed in the Strickbau technique of solid laced-beam construction, a photo: Ralph Kent method that Zumthor seems increasingly keen on recently. .

Church San Benedetg . Address Caplutta Sogn Benedetg Sumvitg Switzerland http://www.sumvitg.ch/

. This Zumthor church in a small village located in the Mountains is “a cylinder that turns into an oval and then into a keel: the geometry of this church, however definite, is also dynamic and elusive to the eye, all this exacerbated by the implantation of the building on a steep slope.”The church has a wooden construction and the façade is made with wooden shingles, wooden snips, similar to the locally build houses. The building is very carefully detailed even on places you would normally not come (like behind the concrete stairs of the entrance). The setting is wonderful. .

. How to get there Take the car to Sumvitg in the canton of Graubünden. In this village is one road up to San Benedigt (different ways to write). It's about a km tough climbing for the car. In San Benedigt it is easy to find your way to the church.

HTW Chur . Address Pulvermühlestrasse 57 7004 Chur Switzerland http://www.fh-htwchur.ch

. This project encompasses a building of the HTW Chur, a technical college in the industrial quarter of Chur in Switzerland. The basic idea is an interior hall lighted from above. It can be flexibly used in different spatial constellations for exhibitions and lectures. Two longitudinal wings are connected with this inner hall. An innovative cladding of the façade made of copper refers to the photo: Jiran Kohout Architekti industrial character of the surroundings (text from website architects). .

Shelters for Roman Archaeological Site . Address Seilerbahnweg 17 7000 Chur Switzerland

. Protective housing for the remains of the foundations of three Roman Buildings (which one of those only a corner is visible). This protective casing for the archaeological finds was conceived as a kind of abstract reconstruction of the Roman volumes: a lightweight framework for walls made of timer lamella which admit light and air exactly follows the Roman outer walls, thus producing a package-like effect which give a visible form to photo: João Morgado location of the Roman buildings in today's city landscape. .

Tschuggen Bergoase . Address Sonnenbergstrasse 1 7050 Arosa Switzerland http://www.tschuggen.ch/en/

. "A spa is very much like a sacred space," says Botta. The Tschuggen Bergoase Spa is carved into a mountain 1,800 m above sea level and runs over 4 floors. The interior walls are clad in Arosa granite. The building is topped by a series of 9 eye-catching "light trees" – sail-like structures that capture natural light. "At night, they are magnificently illuminated and shine like beacons. photo: Tschuggen Spa They expose spaces to light that would not otherwise be illuminated. And although the Spa is carved into a mountain, overall it is not a grotto in that it is defined by open spaces with smooth walls. The concept is that of a sanctuary – a place to escape." The Bergoase Spa is next to the five-star Tschuggen Grand Hotel, close to the ski slopes. Hotel and spa are linked by a glass bridge that carries guests into the building through a second-floor reception area. The architecture mixes an open-plan design – where you can see down onto all 4 floors from the uppermost level – and private treatment spaces. .

Vineyard Estate Gantenbein . Address Im Feld CH-7306 Fläsch Switzerland

. This exclusive wine estate is a family run business, situated at the edge of gently sloping vineyards. The extension to the vineyard exists out of 3 simple buildings that form a small courtyard. 2 existing single storey buildings have been completed by a new structure. The basement has 8 mushroom-columns, and forms an extension to the fermentation cellar, which is half sunk in the photo: Ralph Feiner ground. At courtyard level is a hall where the grapes are pressed, and at the top are the rooms for tasting wines. It's a pragmatic, yet aesthetically pleasing building. The concrete skeleton frame is filled in with bricks which are turned and have open vertical joints. Together with the ETH Zurich these wall elements were assembled by industrial robots. The open-jointed brickwork gives the facade an image of stacked grapes. It provides sun shading and ensured an almost constant temperature for an optimal fermentation process. Transparent polycarbonate sheeting provides protection against wind and moisture. .

. "Swept under the carpet". These words could describe the collaboration of an artist (P.R.) with an architect (C.M.). The red polymer carpet marks a big area in the centre of St Gallen, creating "public space". This is the whole idea of the intervention: to animate and recreate urban life. The result is a continuous space, a surface that contains everything, from benches to a car. A daring way to create a public space. .

Leutschenbach School . Address Saatlenfussweg 3 8050 Zurich Switzerland http://bit.ly/ck5tb0

. The Leutschenbach School (Schulhaus Leutschenbach) is located in the north of Zurich. Designed by architect Christian Kerez, photo: Roderick Trompert aimed to offer a completely new dimension for learning, this building has brought all the function zones under one roof and one next to another: classrooms, meeting rooms, the cafeteria, the music room and even the gym hall. To highlight the architectural creation, the gym hall is designed to be on the top floor instead of submerged under the earth. The statics of the building is provided by a steel structure and an embedded slab which is supported on only six points. These form the foundation for the large gym hall and ensure the building to be completely earthquakes resistant. .

Theater 11 . Address Thurgauerstrasse 7 8050 Zurich Switzerland http://www.theater11.ch

. 'A case of cannibalism in architecture' is what EM2N architect Daniel Niggli calls his conversion of the Stadthof 11 in Zurich-Oerlikon into a theatre for musicals. The new building incorporated everything of the old theatre it could use, though that was little more than the stage house and the cellar, and gave it state-of-the-art technology. Faced with the large buildings of its surroundings and the open space in between, the theatre responds without copying their scale. Its highest corner juts forward, opening up at the base like a shark's jaws. From this photo: Hannes Henz corner, the dark casing of perforated sheet metal enveloping both the outer walls and the roof, angles downward until, by the time it gets to the back wall, it is down to the level of the single-family homes there. Piercing the perforated sheet-metal shell, a few large windows frame particular views into the building. In the evening, light shines through the many small openings in between, which are visible only in outline by day. .

Im Viadukt . Address Limmatstrasse 236 8005 Zurich Switzerland http://www.im-viadukt.ch/

. Up until now it separated the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ District 5. Now the railway viaduct will be the element linking the two. This monument to early industrial times is to become the site of an unusual shopping and commercial district with Zurich’s first ever covered market. Direct, simple, reduced to a minimum – this was the EM2N architects’ motto. The rough stonewalls can still be seen on the interior of the rooms, preserving the rugged charm of the construction and accentuating the uniqueness of the photo: Roderick Trompert surroundings. This fits in with the PWG Foundation’s intention of charging low rents for the arches. The foundation envisaged creating a hub of enjoyment, aesthetics and creativity from which both the city and the tenants could profit. The area enjoys a broad, eclectic mix for different sections of the population. IM VIADUKT is a melting pot of the individual strengths of extraordinary and creative businesses. .

photo: David Baugh . Architect's and Artist's Apartment House . Address Sädlenweg 16 8055 Zurich Switzerland

. This contemporary block of four apartments sits on a north-facing hillside in the western suburbs of Zurich. It is spread over four levels, with two duplex apartments and two smaller roof top units - all of which wrap around each other. At first glance (and in most photographs) it looks as if it is clad in concrete, when in fact the skin is made of 3mm-thick galvanised sheet steel. The armature of the house, that is to say the foundation slab and the main internal stair cores, are indeed formed from in-situ photo: David Baugh concrete. However the remainder of the walls, both internal and external, are formed using timber studs. Internally, the materials and surfaces are undecorated, giving the interior a neutral appearance. In total contrast are the bathrooms and kitchens which are lined with some very vivid colours, coated onto the backs of glass sheets. .

. The centerpiece of the "focusTerra" exhibition is a tower located in the covered courtyard at the newly renovated Natural Sciences Institute building on the campus of the ETH Zurich. The free-standing spiral form of the exhibition tower sets itself confidently apart from the existing building. Analogous to the photo: Radek Brunecky forces at work below the earth's surface, the tower spirals up three levels reaching just below the skylight of the inner courtyard. A staircase and a continuous ribbon of showcases connect different levels of the exhibition in a seamless continuum, and guide visitors through the fascinating layers of the earth. The concept and design connect the existing historical-mineralogical-geological collection with contemporary research done at the institute. .

Stadelhofen Station . Address Stadelhoferstrasse 8001 Zurich Switzerland

. Stadelhofen Train Station, built in the early 1980s, is a major transportation junction for the Zurich area. The original design consisted of a 300 metres long terminal building, running along a curved railway line, which itself runs along a hillside in the town's centre. In 1990, Santiago Calatrava received the assignment to add a new third track to the existing train station. In order to accomplish this, his design envolved excavating part of the hillside to add the track, only to restore the hillside in part on top photo: Maarten Helle of the new structure. This way the new track has an open, naturally lit platform, while above ground space was created for walkways. .

Tyre Shop Art Exchange . Address Mythen-Quai 322 8038 Zurich Switzerland

. This tyre fitting shop / art exchange is situated on a brown field site adjacent to the lake of Zurich, between a railway station and the main access road into the centre of the city. In this stark environment one finds petrol stations, 24-hour shops, night clubs and start-up companies of every kind which are served by a never ending stream of people moving in and out of town. The client was looking for a highly efficient tyre-fitting shop with a strong visual identity. The entire façade of tyre shop's first floor was therefore conceived as a 4-sided, interactive communication surface. This created a building which acts as a drive-by gallery for passing traffic and engages even more powerfully with pedestrians waiting for buses or trains. .

Heidi Weber Museum . Address Höschgasse 8 8034 Zurich Switzerland http://www.centerlecorbusier.com

. The Heidi Weber Museum reflects the harmonic unity of Le Corbusier's architecture, sculptures, paintings, furniture designs and his writings which is unique and possibly the only one such existing structure in the world: a total work of art. Located on the wooded shores of Lake Zurich, the last building designed by Le Corbusier, synthesizes Corbusier's genius. Yet it marks a radical change of his achievement of using concrete and stone so poetically. He to put in practice the construction system based photo: Liesa Siegelmann on cubic units of 2.26 meters each side, created according to the Modulor measures. He framed his final masterpiece in steel and glass and thus created a signpost for the future. Le Corbusier made great use of prefabricated steel elements together with multi-coloured enamelled plates fitted to the central core, and above the complex he designed a 'free-floating' roof to keep the house protected from both the rain and the sun.

. This project was the winning proposal of a competition to substitute a service wing of the Schweizerhof Hotel, a 19th century building, for the new headquarters of Migros department stores. It reconciles the architectural and urban demands with those imposed by the commercial needs. The site is located in the meeting point between the fabric of the historic centre and photo: José F. García Martín the larger one of the lake promenade. The shopping centre is a free-standing volume which performs as a profane counterpoint to the neighbouring church of St. Matthew. The construction adopts a symmetrical and stepped silhouette towards the sides. The façade is made of light copper wash panels, whose width determines the basic module; despite being randomly distributed, the glazed panels are hardly noticeable thanks to a fixation system that is furred onto the metallic panels. The greenish tone acquired by the copper helps to blend the building with its urban context: the tree-lined promenade along the lakeside. .

Culture and Congress Center . Address Europaplatz 1 CH-6005 Luzern Switzerland http://www.kkl-luzern.ch

. The KKL Luzern was built in record time, five years, between 1995 and 2000. The work of French architect Jean Nouvel and American acoustician Russell Johnson replaced Armin Meili’s (1933/34) building. The construction is divided into three parts and made up of the Concert Hall, a multifunctional Hall as well as the Convention Centre with its Auditorium and the Museum of Art Lucerne. One of the most important features of the KKL Luzern is that all kinds of different events may take place photo: João Sousa under the same gigantic roof. Not only separately and next door to each other but – with transparent boundaries – also together. These events encompass the fields of culture, convention and cuisine. The building stands out especially because of its huge roof, which has become the trademark of the KKL Luzern. It is the ideal component to compliment the natural landmark Mount Pilatus and the historical trademark Chapel Bridge. .

Pius Church Meggen . Address Schlösslistrasse 2 6045 Meggen Switzerland

. The exterior of this cubical building in Meggen, Switzerland, doesn't reveal anything about it's contents; only it's bell tower and a little cross on the roof hint at it's sacriligious function. The façade, which looks like a steel frame contruction, is actually made up of very thin translucent plates of 'Penthelian Dionysos' marble (28 mm thick). As translucent as painted glass windows in other churches, the marble lets through daylight in warm tones of brown and yellow, to create a special ambience inside the photo: Maarten Helle church. .

Beyeler museum . Address Baselstrasse 101 4125 Riehen Switzerland http://www.beyeler.com/

. The elongated building covers the whole breadth of the narrow plot of ground situated between a busy main road and a protected area of farmland. It combines two contrasting motifs: long, solid walls and a light, apparently floating glass roof. All the external walls are clad with red porphyry from Patagonia (Argentina). The building is supported by four 127 metre-long photo: T. Dix parallel load-bearing walls placed at intervals of about seven metres. The two end façades are made of glass and look out over the park. On the road side, the museum is completed by a windowless wall that protects the building and on the inside. A large glass roof lets daylight into the whole building. Unlike conventional top lighting, this roof allows the zenithal daylight to filter into the building’s interior in its natural state instead of homogenising it and making it diffuse and milky. There are also three systems with artificial light sources that illuminate the rooms when there is insufficient light from outside. .

Herzog and De Meuron won the Pritzker prize in 2001, the jury explained: "The beginnings of most architects’ practices consists by necessity of small projects with budgets to match. It is these early buildings with great constraints that test an architect’s talent for original solutions to often ordinary and utilitarian commissions. In the case of Jacques Herzog and Pierre de Meuron, the railroad signal box was such a project. They transformed a nondescript structure in a railroad yard into a dramatic and artistic work of industrial architecture, captivating both by day and night." .

Vitra Headquarters . Address Klünenfeldstraße 22 4127 Basel Switzerland http://www.vitra.com/en-lp/about/

photo: Jeroen Meijer . The existing zoning required a building of less than ten meters in height. Parking was required at a rate of one car for every three employees on site, including existing uses. The building is to house various working groups which require "changeable" office planning in a way which will allow them to demonstrate and experiment with their own furniture lines. The offices also become showrooms, so a relatively neutral space was designed for this program element. Much research was done to investigate state-of-the-art office space before the project began. As a result, "combi office" and "office landscape" types will be accommodated as well as more traditional closed and open offices. The strict energy codes of Switzerland mandate that there be no air-conditioning for offices, so natural ventilation is accommodated by opening windows and the entirely shaded south wall under the large wing shaped canopy. .

Schaulager . Address Ruchfeldstrasse 19 CH-4142 Basel Switzerland http://www.schaulager.org/

photo: Naomi Schiphorst

. The Schaulager ('viewing warehouse') is neither museum nor traditional warehouse. It keeps the Emanuel Hoffmann collection in optimal condition and is primarily accessible for specialists: conservators, curators, researchers etc. The heavy outer wall is built up in layers and its outer surface scratched, exposing the pebbles excavated on site. This material is not only a visual expression of weight and storage but also, as a result of its great inertia, an essential factor in the interior climate control. On one side the box is somewhat indented, creating a forecourt, so that the entrance side is visible from great distance. It appears to be guarded by a small building with a gabled roof. The courtyard-like space radiates urbanism and publicness. Schaulager is thus not simply an anonymous box on the urban periphery, but rather a place that is active and self-confident, expanding the public dimension of the city of Basel to the south, towards the new district of Dreispitz/Münchenstein. .

Today Paul Klee, who was also a musician, teacher and poet, ranks as one of the 20th century’s most significant artists. Of the 10,000 or so works that make up Paul Klee’s oeuvre a good 40 per cent, that is to say around 4,000 paintings, watercolours and drawings as well as archives and biographical material, has been brought together at the Zentrum Paul Klee. The Centre’s collections are considered as the largest photo: João Sousa collection of a single artist of world renown. Renzo Piano's fascination with the terrain on the eastern outskirts of Bern gave him the idea of creating a spacious island of green from which the architecture would emerge in the form of three undulating waves. .

9 Pavilions . Address Chemin des Bosguets 1400 Yverdon-les-Bains Switzerland

. The Parc des Rives was once a marshy area, often flooded. After the level of the lake it borders was stabilized by engineering works, this stretch of land was reclaimed. To this end, two canals were excavated at either end of the park. The design of Localarchitecture, in association with landscape design agency Paysagestion, adds a promenade alongside these canals, highlighting the boundaries of the park by deliberately clearing a vast void in the centre. For the construction of nine pavilions photo: Milo Keller that dot the promenade, the architects drew inspiration from various historical processes of timber production. Made entirely of braced planks of wood, the pavilions are constructed according to the post and beam principle. Each one has two load-bearing walls of different heights connected by a sloping roof. They are disposed thematically around the park in a way that underscores their different functions: toilets, music kiosk, picnic table, refreshment stall, pedal-boat rental and meditation. .
