Although Roger Boltshauser is known for his work as architect, for a long time it seemed uncertain whether his path would take him to architecture or to art. He has remained loyal to both disciplines. His artworks cannot be explained without his architecture and, vice versa, his architecture cannot be fully understood without a knowledge of his artwork.

This architect’s work is as diverse as it is independent. From the sketch phase onward, climate-conscious building is a central theme that is expressed in his projects in a contemporary way. The present monograph brings together buildings and artworks in a single publication for the first time. The design concept is based on the architect’s work process and places sketches and plans before the photographs of the process and the architecture. The low opacity paper and the softness with which the pages open in the core gives the publication and its dense content the requisite lightness and makes the visual order perceptible.
