Red, orange, and blue rather than grey. Amid the subdued hues of the Swiss architecture landscape the buildings by Loeliger Strub are welcome exceptions. They are colourful, animated and, in many cases, movable. The editors spoke with the architects about the value of humour and delight in architecture. These qualities make buildings more approachable and are essential for survival in the serious and often tedious everyday world of planning. While their early projects were still strongly influenced by the minimalism of the 1990s, more recently their designs have become increasingly playful and richer in content. They discover design freedom within the tight corset of demands by transforming the requirements of the function into something special. For instance, everywhere that elements or materials meet. Every joint can be something. Movable elements and flexible spaces aim at actively integrating the residents, enabling them to use the building in individual ways and to make it their own.
