CONSTRUCTOR’S DIALOGUE. Not only the profession of the Architect and Master Builder developed as a result of industrial revolution, but that of the Building Engineer as well. During the collaboration of these disciplines there arose a tradition of long, controversial debate between their conflicting priorities.Today’s architectural tendencies are evidence of a form generated design that show little regard for structural realities. In Switzerland however, remarkable buildings and projects have been realized within the last 20 years that point to a multidisciplinary collaboration with a strong dialogue of debate. The exhibition CONSTRUCTOR’S DIALOGUE searches for traces on the conditions, possibilities and limits of this dialogue.
