Lorenzo Giuliani and Christian Hönger are influential figures who have shaped the second generation of German-Swiss architecture. As well as being innovators in their own right, they are also passionate about encouraging younger architects to achieve their potential. This volume focuses on the results of their teaching at the École polytechnique fédérale in Lausanne between 2013 and 2015. Its central theme is the creation of high-quality interior space - a quintessential but often-overlooked facet of architecture. Including texts written by Giuliani and Hönger themselves, transcripts of lectures from renowned guest speakers, and designs created by their students, Giuliani Hönger is a mixture of monograph and demonstration, showcasing the enthusiasm, charisma, and teaching ability of these two important Zurich architects.Text in German.
