Gion a. caminada. on the path to building (Birkhauser)

Gion A. Caminada is well-known as Professor of Architecture and Design at ETH Zurich, and as a renewer of his home community Vrin. At Valendas, which once was a thriving village, he revitalized - commissioned żeby a community trust - a country inn, the community hall, and the village square in order to stem the rural exodus. He tells the story of new life in old villages, and how his concepts function in cooperation with committed citizens.
