4 Werkhof Talstrasse Davos The wooden workshop next to the Sportscentre of Davos was built just two years later, and the material and detailing show their resemblance This is the storage, carwash and park-space for the material, cars and trucks used by the municipality to (re)move snow On the first floor are offices and meeting rooms They are situated in the overhanging parts of the building These overhanging parts make sure that the exits of the car park are easily accessible, even with lots of snow fall The building is made out of a concrete structure which is enveloped by a wooden pattern of boards that have different widths and are set apart at different openings Some windows have fixed exterior sunscreens; wooden lamellas, operable on the inside The wooden skin seems to move, and gives the otherwise very utile and industrial building a very friendly appearance Project is not public! 1999 Davos Tourismus MI_MOA Train: Swiss Federal Railways, SBB, from Zurich via Landquart Davos is 2:20h See wwwsbbch/en for timetable information Stop at station Davos Dorf or Davos Platz Car: Davos is 145 km from Zurich: see wwwdavosch for detailed driving directions 4

5 photo: Heinrich Helfenstein photo: Heinrich Helfenstein Chasa RTR Masanserstrasse Chur The local Radio e Televisiun Ramantscha (RTR) is the main occupant of this mighty six-storey angled structure, which completes a larger architectural quadrangle at the entrance to Chur's old city centre What is remarkable is that despite its expressive and incisive form, the building steps back and puts itself and its presentation at the service of the urban space For the observant viewer the almost banal looking window grid has a few surprises in store It is made of concrete, poured in one piece and subsequently bush-hammered, which is to say rough-hewn with a hammer and chisel - a process that exposes the concrete's main constituent, in this case Rhine gravel The monolithic effect of the façade has its significance: instead of a stuck-on 'outer skin' it becomes a massive, five-storey-high, load-bearing structure, resting on only three supports towards the square and street This static tour de force turns the heftily protruding mass into a light-footed elephant photo: Heinrich Helfenstein Project is not public! 2006 Staufer & Hasler Architekten Chur Municipality + SRG 'idée suisse' Bern Axel_Simon 5
