From the Publisher. The clean, contemporary lines and elegant materials of the new sports complex in Sargans, Switzerland, show that aesthetics and environmental sustainability are not mutually exclusive. This oversized book showcases a new recreation complex, a collaboration between the firms blue architects and Ruprecht Architects, that seeks to engage its local environment as well contribute to the international discourse in a rapidly globalizing world. Outstanding photography highlights this masterwork of green design and technological expertise—with especially innovative methods of wood construction—combined with loving craftsmanship and creative openness. Includes drawings, elevations, plans and maps and written contributions by Hubertus Adam, Robert Kaltenbrunner and Christian Salewski.
