Kunik de Morsier cover

This book offers insights into the architectural collaboration of Kunik and de Morsier, highlighting their innovative projects and contextual designs.

The book Kunik de Morsier delves into the architectural practice founded in 2010 by Valentin Kunik and Guillaume de Morsier in Lausanne. Their work is characterized by a strong emphasis on context-related projects, which are often brought to life through innovative collaborations with a diverse range of professionals, including engineers, photographers, philosophers, and scenographers. This interdisciplinary approach not only enriches the design process but also enhances the interaction of their spaces with the surrounding environment.

One notable example highlighted in Kunik de Morsier is the Le Pont residential building, which showcases a pioneering construction system entirely made of wood. This project exemplifies the architects' commitment to sustainability and their ability to create structures that harmonize with nature. The book explores various projects that illustrate how Kunik and de Morsier's designs respond to their unique contexts, pushing the boundaries of traditional architecture.

Presented in both English and German, Kunik de Morsier serves as an insightful resource for those interested in contemporary architectural practices. It provides a comprehensive overview of the duo's philosophy, their collaborative methods, and the resulting innovative spaces that challenge conventional design norms. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of how thoughtful architecture can foster a meaningful connection between built environments and their inhabitants.
