A close look at an astonishing architectural achievement situated among other Swiss masterworks
With more than 150 illustrations, this monograph offers the first in-depth look at the genesis of the Steiger House, a masterpiece of modern Swiss architecture, situated in the Doldertal in Zurich near other modernist houses, such as the Doldertal Houses by Roth and Breuer (1936) and the Fellowship Home (1960). Its central hall relates to Villa la Rotonda by Andrea Palladio. Detailed analyses illustrate the central layout and outline the chronology, typology and construction of the building. Further contributions illuminate its relation to local topography, the cultural context of the building, and important historical and contemporary architectural references, including the Steiger House''s famous neighbors, the Doldertal Houses. The Swiss architect couple Flora Steiger-Crawford (18991991, also a sculptor) and Rudolf Steiger (190082) are important representatives of the Swiss avant-garde, and Flora Crawford was the first female architect to graduate from ETH Zurich.
