This book is a very personal form of architectural autobiography. It is aimed at engaging with the complex, multifaceted nature of considerations and experiences on which the architecturally robust works of Aita Flury are based. In twelve essays, Aita Flury discusses the underlying principles of her design work, striving to grasp the architectural material in the sense of self-assurance and an exam- ination of her experiences. The buildings and projects resulting from these thought processes are presented with a high density of images and plans, thereby mutually enhancing their significance through their interaction. A dialogue section with articles by the architects Roger Boltshauser, Axel Fickert, Jonathan Sergison and Andrea Wiegelmann, as well as the engineer Jürg Conzett, reflect a “close” external perspec- tive and bind the works into architectural discourse.
