At the conference for hospital construction and operation in Basel, Tobias Greiner and Martin Künzler will present the new ambulatory centre at Nidwalden Hospital in Stans. The sustainable timber construction project features a clear internal and external structure and materialisation that focuses on patients and employees. The event is aimed at hospital operators, builders and investors, as well as architects, planners and product manufacturers. The aim is to create a broad dialogue among the speakers and participants.

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.

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”.
