Reto Durrer – författare

The buildings by Durrer Architekten possess a certain self-evidence, as if they had always been there. Their complexity only becomes apparent at second glance. The architecture of the two Lucerne-based architects with roots in Obwalden preserves the identity of established townscapes and settlements through its careful integration into the built environment and complements them with quality and care. This is achieved thanks to their profound knowledge of architectural history and their finely tuned sense of what is appropriate in each place and for each task.This monograph presents a body of work that mediates between tradition and the present and understands architecture as a responsible, sustainable cultural practice, characterised by a finely tuned sense of scale, attitude and significance.Text in German.
