Description
This publication focuses on four architects: Werner Frey (1912-1989), Franz Feg (born 1921), Jacques Schader (born 1917) and Jacob Zweifel (born 1921).
This group of Zurich architects created buildings which can be seen to embody the typical features of the architecture emerging from the late 1950s, 1960s, and early 1970s: fastidious construction methods, a structural approach to designing brought about by increased use of prefabricated parts, an awareness of different social needs of the individual and the group which were subsequently reflected in the designs.
Using a wealth of historical illustrations together with photographs by Doris Fanconis and 8 documentary films by Georg Radanowicz, visually interpreting the architecture from a contemporary viewpoint, this book is an invaluable documentation and analysis of those buildings, which are of consequence for today's architecture.
