The Overview of the Work of Franz Füeg

Who has not seen the St Pius Church in Meggen, with its unrivalled translucent marble envelope? For over 5 years, its architect, Franz Füeg, has been designing, building, writing, and also teaching at the EPF Lausanne. Only few architects of his generation have portrayed such a diverse and comprehensive understanding of the profession.

This book not only documents the most important buildings of the proponent of Swiss post-modernism, who was born in Solothurn in 92 . His work has always raised fundamental questions about the condition of construction and the responsibility of the architect for his environment and, at the same time, provides a background to understanding contemporary criteria in architecture and urban design.
