Lukas Raeber

Dedicated to both the function and the respective location, buildings by the Basel-based architect Lukas Raeber are characterised by a comprehensive engagement with the materials they use. While they firstly define the visual aesthetics and atmosphere of the conversions and new buildings, their often raw, direct application – thereby assuming the character of contemporary ornamentation – gives the buildings their specific identity. Among other projects, the texts and images in this volume present the recently completed Bota School in Dürnten and an apartment building designed for circular economics. Text in English and German.
