Form and resistance are the essence of all architectural work. This
is especially clear in the interaction between the effect and
construction method of façades. They orchestrate the transition
between interior and exterior worlds, they manifest the underlying
approach and the way buildings behave towards their surroundings.
In their articulation of engineering and aesthetics, supporting and
loads, proportion and practicality, and rhythm and materiality,
they reflect both varying production methods and social value
systems. The architect Lando Rossmaier worked with students at the
University of Lucerne to study the range of architectural means of
construction and expression with respect to Swiss townhouse
façades. This anthology presents a selection of around 80
buildings with sensitively developed tectonics, dating from the
20th-century to the present day, all of which have formed a
backdrop for an urban way of life for decades. Like a manual, the
effect is demonstrated using a photographic portrait and a
description of the construction method, using detailed tectonic
isometrics. The collection is supplemented by ten projects by
contemporary Swiss architects, with essays on their understanding
of tectonics. Text in German. Articles: Dr. Bettina Köhler, Roger
