In the midst of an urban garden surrounded by an ensemble of housing, three timber residential developments have their own poetic radiance. Their creators, architects Jeanne Della Casa and Sylvie Pfaehler, are constructing a remarkable oeuvre in Lausanne. The architects' award-winning works include residential buildings in Lausanne and the Lavaux region, whose structure is inspired by plate tectonics. This book explores some of their greatest creations to date, highlighting their confident deviations from the surrounding environment. Text in English and German. 70 colour
