Description: A special double issue devoted to the world of Gion A. Caminada, known for his minimalist style that mixes modern design with traditional Swiss methods and materials, especially using wood. Featuring seventeen projects spanning the past three decades, the magazine offers a comprehensive overview of Caminada's body of work, including notable projects such as the Stiva da Morts community mourning place in Vrin, the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum, the Girls' Boarding School at Disentis Abbey, and a forest hut in Domat - a communal and educational space for the local community and schools. An interview and personal reflection by Caminada himself complete the tribute.
