Architecture

Anyone Corporation

The Graubünden-based architect Valerio Olgiati has become well-known outside Switzerland for such buildings as his school building in Paspels and the Atelier Bardill in Scharans, but not least for his Yellow House and his studio in Flims. In the form of a well-illustrated essay, the architect explains how he develops his projects, the parameters that influence his design process, and the intellectual context from which he works. In a reduced, clear language this iconographic autobiography offers a very personal view of the Valerio Olgiati's activity and of his self-image as an architect, thus supplementing with a personal statement the earlier publication "DADO". Text and images complement each other to create a narrative thread that offers informative insights into the architect's intellectual and visual imagination and expands our understanding of Olgiati's oeuvre.

Olgiati | Conferencia: Una Conferencia de Valerio Olgiati (Spanish Edition)

This slim ''edition architese'' volume (the fourth in the series) offers unprecedented access to one of the world's preeminent architects: Valerio Olgiati, the award-winning Swiss designer and professor at the architecture academy in Mendriso. In an engrossing interview, Olgiati discusses the social responsibility of the architect, the difference between earlier and modern generations of architects, the influence of post-modernity, and the difficulties that confront an architect as a design is built. Accented with details from some of his most notable works, the book provides a definitive overview of Olgiati's approach to the ''organic unity'' of his ''unrelentingly precise'' architectural style. Architectural historian Markus Breitschmid adds a perceptive essay.

The Significance of the Idea In the Architecture of Valerio Olgiati

Verlag Niggli

In 1998, at the age of 40, Valerio Olgiati became a star of the younger generation of Swiss architects with his first important commission, a school in Paspels, Switzerland. This comprehensive volume covers Olgiati's oeuvre so far--from the best-known buildings to the less-known competition contributions--and includes a full catalogue raisonne.

The Images of Architects

The Name Books

Hardcover, bound in dark blue Irish linen cloth made in Japan For many years, my wife Tamara and I had been searching for a place for which we could leave our current home in the Swiss mountains on social, cultural and climatic grounds. In the Alentejo region in Portugal, we found the perfect situation. A wonderful climate, a wide empty landscape and an existing culture that we like. Here, we spend a couple of months a year. From here, we work - my wife is also an architect - close to our office in Flims. The basic idea and the all-influencing aim of our project was to create a garden, even more than a shelter, which, of course, we also have. The form of our house indeed should not primarily express 'shelter'. It is the 'garden' that has to essentially find its form and that we want to experience. To date, three main forms are known to me in terms of housing. The first, 'urban living', I understand as living in the dense fabric of an urban setting. Then, 'suburban living', which takes place in a typical one-family home with a small garden in suburbia, and finally, 'country living', where people live socially and infrastructurally connected at large rural intervals. We excluded all three of these forms for our house. This was not what we were looking for. Our home is far away from the next town. It is disconnected in every respect. There is only the vast empty landscape around us. In Villa Além, a sense of loneliness and independence arises. It is a real retreat. I was looking for a term for this type of housing and have arrived at 'landscape living'. - Valerio Olgiati
