What does Lumbrein (GR) and Providence (RI) have in common?

Mar 03, 2010 05:09 PM

Nothing obvious at first sight… but there are two architects who are excited about collaboration that fosters the exchange between Swiss and American students in Architecture.

Chris Bardt, Rhode Island School of Design, Ramun Capaul and Daniel Walser, HTW Chur observed the students enthusiasm when it comes to solve architectural challenges of a small municipality like Lumbrein in Grisons Switzerland. How can a village like Lumbrein sustain in the 21 century, when its very own inhabitants leave and second home owners take over? What does “go g-local” mean when it comes to architecture? These and other questions where addressed during various studios and study trips.

After supporting the initiative on different levels from the very beginning, swissnex Boston brainstormed with Chris and Ramun on how to bring the transatlantic collaboration to the next level. To learn more about some exciting ideas check out the project “spazi Art e Cultura”.
