This year's summer excursion took us to Lucerne, where we visited the impressive glacier garden with the spectacular concrete building in the sandstone cliff by Miller & Maranta. In Hergiswald, we enjoyed lunch in Gion A. Caminada's new, resource-efficient timber hybrid building, which is located right next to the historic pilgrimage church. The tour concluded with a visit to the construction site in Kriens, where we were given an up-to-date insight into the Pilatus Arena, which is currently under construction - the opening of the new handball arena is planned for October.

On Thursday, 10 April at 18:00, Christian Hönger, Tobias Greiner and Jari Putignano will talk about the Academia Engiadina materialisation at the Baumuster-Centrale Material Talk. The architects will explain the conceptual, architectural and structural features of the façade renovation. The managing director of the Rüetschi bell foundry, Jari Putignano, will illustrate the aluminium casting process.

The building application for Casa Mohl was submitted at the end of April. The structural model in the preliminary project status shows the project in Ascona on the Scalinata della Ruga between the promenade and Monte Verità. The two-family house stages the view of Lake Maggiore and the greenery and architecturally implements “the climate as a design factor”.
