PlessurCH
With Chur as its historic capital and Haldenstein as its quieter counterpart, in Plessur an exceptional architectural landscape unfolds. Among the narrow streets and stately townhouses of Chur, we discover how historic urban structures continuously enter into dialogue with contemporary interventions. Here, tradition and innovation meet in buildings that are at once monumental and surprisingly intimate.
In Haldenstein, we gain a more personal insight into the architecture of Peter Zumthor: a village that has grown into a kind of living museum, where architecture is revealed not only in public buildings but also in studios, houses, and quiet experiments. It is a place where the enduring presence of Zumthor can be traced in the everyday life of the village.
Plessur can thus be read as an interplay of heritage and innovation, of urban monumentality and village intimacy. And alongside the icons that reside here, we also keep one unexpected pearl in store.
