Rolf Muhlethaler
The architect Rolf Mühlethaler attracted attention in 1987 with his studio building for the artist Rolf Iseli. This book volume is a collection of some of the more recent buildings and projects, including the latest project: the extension of a school building in Leimbach, a strong yet simple response to the extremely complex parameters. Text in English and German.
2022 fib Awards for Outstanding Concrete Structures
The fib has two major missions now. One is to work toward the publication of the Model Code 2020, and the other is to respond to the global movement toward carbon neutrality. While the former is steadily progressing toward completion, the latter will require significant efforts for generations to come. As we all know, cement, the primary material for concrete, is a sector that accounts for 8.5% of the world’s CO2 emissions. And the structural concrete that fib handles consume 60% of that. In other words, we need to know the reality that our structural concrete is emitting 5% of the world’s CO2. From now on, fib members, suppliers, designers, builders, owner’s engineers, and academic re...

Residential Buildings
The systematic development of building types is an important task in housing construction. A deeper understanding of the underlying building types is mandatory, both for individual designs and for the wider application and variation of tried-and-tested structures.

The first part is dedicated to the courtyard house, in which the courtyard is used as a private outside living space. The second part deals with the popular form of the terraced house and discusses aspects of corner solutions or terraced developments as an urban design ele...

Spaziergänge durch Raum und Zeit
Luzern, die Stadt vor dem Pilatus, am Vierwaldstättersee, eingerahmt von schneebedeckten Bergen und sanften Hügeln, ausgestattet mit Brücken und Kirchen, Herrschaftshäusern und Grand Hotels, Altstadtgassen und Seepromenaden, dieses malerische Bild ist weltbekannt. Dass die Stadt aber auch über eine beachtliche Baukultur des 20. Jahrhunderts bis zu Bauten aus der Hand von europaweit bekannten Architekten wie Jean Nouvel, Diener & Diener und Hans Kollhoff verfügt, das vermag der seit langem fällige Architekturführer Luzern eindrücklich zu erhellen. In sechs 'Spaziergängen durch Raum und Zeit' und einem 'Abstecher' in die acht Agglomerationsgemeinden beschreibt und dokumentiert der Au...
