Architectural context

About Valerio Olgiati

Valerio Olgiati (born 1958) is a Swiss architect known for an uncompromising Minimalism rooted in the expressive potential of concrete. The catalogue holds 2 of his works in Switzerland.

The Paspels Secondary School Building (1998) in Domleschg is a compact concrete volume whose interiors are organised around a central void — every space defined by precise proportions and controlled natural light. The Plantahof Auditorium (2010) in Landquart places a flat concrete ceiling on a single, off-centre column — a structural gesture that transforms a simple room into a monumental space. Olgiati's buildings achieve intensity through radical reduction: no ornament, no colour, no material other than concrete.
