Riassunto

Valerio Olgiati is known as one of the most important exponents of Swiss contemporary architecture. In the present forth volume of the series edition archithese, Olgiati answers questions posed to him about the social responsibility of the architect, the difference between the earlier generation of architects and that of today, the influence of post-modernity and the difficulties of architects in the realisation of projects. Markus Breitschmid rounds off the volume with an essay.
