Drawing New Lines. Voices in Swiss Architecture

The new mood in Swiss architecture is expanding the boundaries of what architecture is.
With provocative and playful approaches, younger architects are starting to consider how we should act, for the future of architecture, the future of public life and the future of the planet.

This display will introduce the work of five Swiss architecture practices and organisations: Bessire Winter, Parity Group, Schneider Türtscher, Truwant+Rodet+ and 8000.agency. All of them teach and undertake research as part of their work as architects, giving them the greatest opportunity to discuss and debate what architecture means. Bringing together photography, collages, posters and drawings, this display will present an expanded idea of architecture – one which links it to art, landscape and performance.
Central to the display will also be a book bench, specially designed by London-based architecture studio APPARATA. You will have the opportunity to take a seat and browse books and magazines that have been produced by the architects or selected as their source of inspiration.
