Der architektonische Einfluss von Frank Lloyd Wright in der Zentralschweiz

Building on her experience following a several-week trip to Taliesin West, Kora Brgi investigates Frank Lloyd Wrights architecture and traces his work in the USA and Switzerland. The result of the field research is a presentation of his influence on the Central Swiss architectural landscape a theme that has not been studied before. That influence ranges from partial copies of elements of Wrights architecture to own interpretations of his architectural ideas. This publication analyses 14 buildings in Central Switzerland from the Heimbach school and the Villa Schnyder (both in Lucerne) to the residential buildings in Brodhubl (Canton of Obwalden) including Wrights influence on various architects, such as Josef Gasser, Lisbeth Sachs and Otto von Deschwanden. The author also sheds light on the distribution of Wrights urban-planning principles and the future of his architecture in Switzerland. Text in German.
