Landscape and Structures

Landscape and Structures presents civil engineering structures, which stand out by virtue of their special relationship with the Swiss landscape, such as bridges, footbridges, tunnels, retaining walls, passageways etc., i.e. structures serving traffic routes. Civil engineer Jurg Conzett and photographer Martin Linsi focus their interest on works of architectural merit, which take account not just of engineering and efficiency, but also of the responses they evoke in the individuals using or looking at them. The book is published in conjunction with the exhibition curated by Jurg Conzett at the Swiss pavilion within the 12th International Architecture Exhibition of the Venice Biennale.
