This volume explores Northern California's rich architectural history; contemporary examples of classical design through professional and student portfolios; and academic articles authored by leaders within the field.Founded in 1999 by Damien Chevalley, Patrick Longchamp and Gilbert Russbach, CLR architects have constructed a wide range of schools, administrative buildings and housing. Always in search of new typological solutions, the Geneva-based practice is characterized by regular competition participation and the reinterpretation of historical models, as exemplified by the Ecole du Petit-Lancy – a user-orientated extension to existing structures that enhances its urban environment. Text in English and German.
