'As if the house had always stood there...' Miscellanea on the House in Fuerstenaubruck, 2004-2006

摘要

The selection of Gion A. Caminada to build our house in 2004 was based on our interest, among other things, in his precise treatment of places and Gemineschaft （communities）. Fundamentally, he also forgoes self-promotion and cliche. When Gion came to Fuerstenaubruck for the first time and saw the orchard with its apples, plums, cherry and pear trees, he spent a while shuffling around. Finally, he turned to us and said curtly: "We'll leave this as it is. This place has a force. We don't have to do anything here; it is wonderful as it is." Then, he lay down under the branches of the trees and the blue sky to look at the property.
