Say 2023: Swiss Architecture Yearbook 2023/24

The inaugural edition of the new Swiss Architecture Yearbook.

The new SAY 2023/24: Swiss Architecture Yearbook is the first of its kind in Switzerland. Jointly edited by the Basel-based Swiss Architecture Museum S AM and the renowned architecture journal werk, bauen+wohnen on behalf of the Stiftung Architektur Schweiz, it provides international visibility for the outstanding quality and diversity of Swiss architecture and building culture.

But SAY is more than a mere selection of the best: it thoroughly examines timely topics such as the current construction boom and the increasingly felt effects of climate change. From a list of over one hundred nominees from all parts of the country, 36 projects were selected by an international jury for this edition. The featured projects are supplemented by topical essays that look at the most pressing questions in Swiss architecture discourse, at the characteristics of Swiss architecture today, and examine what lasting contribution it makes to the quality of life in all parts of the country.
