Learning from Vernacular | Pierre Frey
ETH CAS Regenerative Materials
Pierre Frey is Honorary professor of EPFL-ENAC. He wrote a great book in 2010 with this title "Learning from vernacular: Towards a new vernacular architecture".
He will present a unique collection of models of vernacular architecture he realized with his students at EPFL, highlight the special attributes of these buildings and underline there value.
We will then travel with him through selected contemporary realizations by architects from Africa, Asia, America and Europe that seem to him to constitute a "new vernacular architecture".
The emphasis here is on materials available on the fringes of the market, on the safeguarding and development of traditional know-how, on the social role of the architect and on the teaching of architecture.
