Devanthery & Lamuniere: Pathfinders (15 buildings) (English and German Edition)

Two Swiss architects as protagonists for classical simplicity. This volume documents the last 15 realised buildings and a selection of 12 projects coming from the architectural office Devanthéry and Lamunière. These include, the psychiatric hospital in Yverdon and the conversion of the hotel Cornavin in Geneva. In their works, Devanthéry and Lamunière who are active in the French part of Switzerland, combine varying conceptions of Modernism. They bring together both expressive and rational architecture, with geometric elements linking the two. Lines from the external form are carried through to the inside of the building and vice versa.
