Inventioneering Architecture

Providing a contemporary survey of the Swiss educational landscape, the publication 'Inventioneering Architecture' spans the interrelated domains of teaching and research. The probes shown in the exhibition and which are accordingly adopted in the publication are expressions of diverse points of view, positions held by an established, as well as a younger generation of the respective faculty and they represent - last but not least - the labor of many commited students on the threshold of practice.

The publication is a guidebook, a device and also an invitation to navigate through the educational landscape of three swiss schools of architecture, presented in the exhibition Inventioneering Architecture. Reflecting and commenting on the academic student work put on display, it suggests future challenges and shows a broad spectrum of strategies of the profession, developed by numerous design and research studios.
