The world of exclusive living.

The first issue of ‘anthos’, published by the Federation of Swiss Landscape Architects BSLA, is dedicated to the topic of urban climate. ‘anthos’ deals with the concrete challenges that the changes in the urban climate pose to landscape architecture and its makers. They have an important role to play in overcoming the climate crisis and especially in adapting our living space to climate change.

The contractor Senn wants to realise the sustainable office building Hortus with her building technicians, with the architects from Herzog & de Meuron and the engineers from ZPF. With its consistently bio-based construction alone, the building in Allschwil should save almost 90 percent CO2 in the shell. Hochparterre magazine is accompanying the planning and construction process.

You almost wouldn’t believe it, but summer is slowly coming to an end. September heralds autumn and some hope it will bring a few more sunny days. Be it on weekends or during the autumn holidays – with these five new Swiss attractions, planning becomes a breeze.
