Swissness Applied

Friends, we are honored to be the 2024 moderators for the Laskey Charette at Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts, Washington University in St. Louis. The kick-off lecture is February 16 at 5:30pm.

The weekend charette and award are endowed by Studio L in honor of Leslie Laskey (1921-2021).

Join us Friday, February 16, at 5:30 p.m., for a lecture with Nicole McIntosh and Jonathan Louie, leaders of Architecture Office, a Zurich-based Swiss American practice. Their research and design are influenced by images that create new contexts for architecture. Their office engages with a variety of scales and typologies, ranging from restaurants and workspaces to exhibition design and houses. Recent work has been exhibited at the Yale Architecture Gallery, the Kunsthaus Glarus, and the 2021 Seoul Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism. As educators, they are the 2023-24 Hyde Chair of Excellence at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. Their contributions to design and research have been awarded by the Architectural League Young Architect’s Prize (2017), ACSA Faculty Design Award (2020), and the Swiss Art Awards (2022). Built projects have been recognized by Architects Newspaper Best of Design Awards (2018, 2019), Interior Design Best of Year Awards (2020), and the Frame Awards (2018). And their most recent publication “Swissness Applied: Learning from New Glarus” won the Deutsches Architekturmuseum Architectural Book Award (2022). This event is part of the Sam Fox School’s Public Lecture Series and is free and open to the public. The lecture will take place in Steinberg Hall. Free parking is available in the East End Garage beginning at 5:00 p.m. Enter the garage from Forsyth Boulevard or Forest Park Parkway.
