Viamala^CH

In Viamala, we encounter an architecture that inscribes itself into the landscape with utmost precision. Valerio Olgiati demonstrates how strict geometry and radical forms can create a new kind of monumentality, even in buildings that appear modest: a school in Paspels embodying the quiet of learning, or an atelier in Scharans where art and life are intimately intertwined.

Equally powerful is the chapel by Christian Kerez, almost hidden within the greenery, where light and emptiness merge into a spiritual experience that redefines the essence of building.
