Symposium
Organizer: Chair Prof. Stalder
Date : Thursday, 15. March 2012 to Friday, 16. March 2012 9:00-20:00
Location : Semper-Aula, ETH Zürich, Zentrum
Fritz Haller is considered one of the most influential Swiss architects and innovators of industrial construction in the 20th century. Born in 1924 in the region of Solothurn, he and other local architects—Alfons Barth, Franz Füeg, Max Schlup, and Hans Zaugg—became known outside Switzerland as the Solothurn School. Haller's oeuvre includes a wide spectrum of buildings and projects—schools, residences, office buildings, factories, digital planning tools. Moreover, the furniture system Haller developed together with the company USM—USM Haller—became one of the world's leading brands. Haller embodies the idea of an architectural production, one that moves impressively between the fields of art, technology, and science.
The symposium takes places on the occasion of the bequeathment of the Fritz Haller archive to ETH Zürich.
