DAS SCHRÄGE DACH (THE PITCHED ROOF)

Ein architektonisches Handbuch

Barbara Burren, Martin Tschanz and Christa Vogt

The old-fashioned pitched roof is experiencing a resurrection, in different and often surprising forms. In this profusely illustrated, inspiring “picture book” that recalls the classic texts on the modern movement, the reader can explore the potential of pitched roofs for a building’s appearance, the relationship of the roofs to their context, and of the interior rooms that result. Its architectural possibilities seem even more interesting as they are rediscovered by today’s architects. Based on the longtime work at the Department of Architecture at the ZHAW Winterthur. Includes nine articles by well-known authors Max Bosshard, Christoph Luchsinger, Nott Caviezel, Aita Flury, Hartmut Frank, Bettina Köhler, Marc Loeliger, Jacques Lucan, Martin Tschan and Christoph Wieser, who each explore the pitched roof from various points of view.
