The newest Olgiati – A house for the musician Linard Bardill in Scharans near Thusis in the Domleschg valley in Graubünden. The book contents sixteen colour photographs made by the architect, all plans in a scale of 1:200 and no text. Limited edition.
A new, exquisitely produced, elegant volume featuring the entire built work of celebrated Swiss architect Valerio Olgiati. Valerio Olgiati's latest book is about the beauty of the very varied buildings he has realized to date. This exquisite small volume features them all in seventy-nine striking color photographs, each of them supplemented by a floor plan or section serving as a visual caption. The indoor and outdoor shots demonstrate Olgiati's intuition for spectacular structures and atmospheric interiors--from the museum for the UNESCO world cultural heritage site in Bahrain to the Céline flagship store in Miami, from the office building for Baloise Insurance's headquarters in Basel to the bedroom of the French fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière, from the visitor center of the Swiss National Park to the studio house for the Swiss musician Linard Bardill in Scharans.
Non-Referential Architecture is a manifesto on a new kind of architecture. Non-Referential Architecture presents a new framework for architecture in a world that is increasingly free of ideologies. We have left behind the values of multicultural postmodernity! Non-Referential Architecture offers unlimited possibilities for the liberated mind.
