I love chalets | Lecture & discussion with curatorial team

Lecture with curatorial team Nicole McIntosh and Jonathan Louie (Architecture Office) in discussion with art historian Philip Ursprung, ETH Zürich

Opening: Johannes Käferstein (President of the Board ZAZ BELLERIVE)

Today the consumption of imagery produces new contexts for the built environment. In the case of New Glarus, the Swiss chalet becomes a mixture of architectural elements – both found and alien to Wisconsin – that change the appearance of the village. The lecture «I Love Chalets» investigates how this circular phenomenon influences buildings and their assumed cultural associations. Nicole McIntosh and Jonathan Louie of Architecture Office will trace their multi-year research and design project on media and the Swiss chalet and share its influence on their practice.
