(Author portrait)
Werner Blaser ist schweizer Architekt und kam schon während des Studiums mit Alvar Aalto und Mies van der Rohe in Berührung, deren strukturelle Philosophie ihn beeinflusste. In seinen zahlreichen Publikationen spürt er den grundlegenden Gemeinsamkeiten der westlichen Klassischen Moderne mit der traditionellen Architektur von Nah- bis Fernost nach.
