In “Architecture as Environment,” Eduard Neuenschwander calls for a holistic view of architecture and nature and encourages us to fundamentally change how we perceive the environment.
Architect and environmental designer Eduard Neuenschwander (born 1924), one of the most influential Swiss architects of the 20th century, makes a passionate case for what matters to him in his profession.
He presents a holistic view of architecture and the environment, emphasizes the interplay between designed and untouched nature, and offers a new understanding of nature. He also highlights the value of what already exists and its distinctive forms.
Using numerous images and explanations, he illustrates his architectural ideas in context. But Neuenschwander’s book is not simply a record of his work—it is a call for a fundamental change in how we feel, think, and act in relation to the environment around us.
It is for everyone who appreciates his work and approach and wants to understand his message for the present and the future.
