Description
(Text)
Werner Schmidt (1953) is one of the most interesting contemporary Swiss architects. Once graduated at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna he moved to Grisons, where he established his professional practice. After completing some inspired, non-conventional works, in the 2000s he gained international reputation for a number of convincing buildings in Switzerland, Germany, and South Tyrol, mostly using straw bales. This diverse and lively book is the result of a thorough, evidence-based and holistic analysis. It presents selected projects, providing information about them, each time focussing on a different aspect, so to cover the main issues which underlie Schmidt s work, such as creative process based on interaction with clients, reduction of ecological impact, alternative building techniques based on natural materials, tendency to autonomy, high quality of life inside the building.
