Welcome to the 2016 Salon Suisse, which I have the great pleasure to host as your Salonnière on the invitation of the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.
This year, the Salon has a two-fold aim: to re-evaluate fundamental ideas resulting from a balanced conception of modernity and to consider how these might be adapted to serve as guidelines for architecture in the twenty-first century.
Today, thanks to the global diffusion of ideas enabled through digital media, a multitude of innovative, effec- tive and cost-efficient architectural techniques and solutions – often based on lessons from the past – are proliferating worldwide, resulting in the users of archi-tecture themselves increasingly being empowered in its making. The Salon Suisse offers a space to reflect on this phenomenon: exploring reuse and recycling, bio-cli-matic techniques, self-build, the recentring of the human and human need in architecture, as well as providing a place to discuss and revisit ideas such as tradition-as- modernity, ‘small is beautiful’, and ‘Existenzminimum’: minimal dwelling standards for all. A host of Swiss and international architects, engineers, researchers, crafts- (wo)men, filmmakers and artists have been invited to participate and share their expertise and thoughts on the theme of ‘a better architecture for tomorrow’.
I am glad to invite all of you to the Palazzo Trevisan degli Ulivi in Venice for an inspiring series of discussions and events. Guest speakers and contributors fromdifferent countries and disciplines accepted to come to Venice to share their experience and perspective along the five Salons of the 2016 Biennale.
For those who cannot make it to Venice, the Swiss architectural magazine Hochparterre is reporting online from all Salons: hochparterre.ch/salonsuisse.

Thursday 26 May6.30 pm The hell of reinforced concrete. A play. This play by the great Egyptian architect Hassan Fathy is one of several he wrote: each intended as a didactic tool. Here he argues passionately for the continuity of the ancient vernacular architectural traditions of Upper Egypt, traditions developed over millennia in response to local climatic and environmental conditions but under threat from new modernist construction techniques – like reinforced concrete. This piece provides a fascinating and entertaining introduction to the themes of the Salon Suisse as a whole.

Opening EveningSalon May
In order to open the Salon Suisse and get to the heart of the subject of Wake up! A path towards better architecture, what could be better than to hand over to Hassan Fathy. He is one of the architects who produced so much work for what he called ‘appropriate architecture’. Emmet, the theatre workshop of Geneva University, super-vised by Nicholas Weeks, will interpret for our great pleasure ‘The hell of reinforced concrete’.
We shall then have the honor to welcome among us three of the most important contemporary architects who have worked at rediscovering and popularizing traditional constructive tech- niques in developing countries as well as in the Western World. Anna Heringer, Martin Rauch and Simón Vélez will share with us their views on the future of architecture.
Thursday 26 May7.15 pm An Introduction to the Salon Suisse: Leïla el-Wakil, Salon-nière. Opening Statements: Anna Heringer, Martin Rauch and Simón Vélez. These three important figures of contemporary vernacular archi-tecture have been given carte blanche to express their vision of what today’s architecture for tomorrow should be, and have very kindly agreed to provide their own personal introductions to this year’s Salon Suisse.

Thursday 16 June7 pm Terrabloc: The reinvented earth. Presenta-tion and discussion. Terrabloc is a young company based in Geneva that is completely passionate about sustainability and the economic use of re- sources. Made up of an architect and an engineer, together they developed a stabilized raw earth block using recycled soil excavated from construction sites. Made using a hand-powered mechanical press, the technique reinterpretes and revitalizes ancestral methods for shaping mudbricks and after several experiments, many projects are currently under development. Thanks to their systematic scientific approach in analyzing and combining different soils to optimize the final properties of the blocks, earth as a material has never been closer to meeting European standards for use in construction.
Let’s rediscoverSalon June
The thematic of the rediscovery of ancient techniques and material feeds today’s projects in many cir-cumstances: contemporary projects with an idea of recycling, restorations works or emergency dwellings. We will discuss particu-larly about the earth which is reused in different manners. Terrabloc is producing compact blocs of earth that anyone can press with a manual press reminding the way in which the Thousand Villages were constructed in Algeria in the sixties. Salma Samar Damluji restored and built according to ancestral techniques in Hadramut. Bill Bouldin planned in Gaza refugee dwellings in the manner of Hassan Fathy that will be echoed by the visit of the Western Sahara instal-lation set by Manuel Herz.
Saturday 18 June4 pm Manuel Herz: The Western Sahara. Guided tour. Manuel Herz conducts a guided tour of the installation that he presented to the Biennale Architecttura 2016.
7 pm Bill Bouldin: About emergency dwellings. Presentation and discussion. Bill Bouldin, of Mechkat Bouldin architects and ARU advisors, gives a presentation on the emergency shelters built in Gaza in 2009. Inspired by Hassan Fathy’s building methods, these minimal dwellings were built with support of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), using multitier construction training programs implemented by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).The project created many new jobs and enabled numerous homeless families to be rehoused at low cost, using simple, economic technology.
9 pm Dominique Fleury: Hors-Champs d’Oliv-iers and Diary Under Siege. Films. The film-maker Dominique Fleury will present her docu-mentaries shot in Palestine and Syria, to inform and contextualize the discussion about the provision of refugee housing.

7 pm Salma Samar Damluji: Inspired by ingenious design. Presentation and discussion. This is an evening devoted to questions around the preservation and renewal of living urban heritage and architectural culture: defending both the spirit and sense of place. The work undertaken in Hadramut, Yemen by architect Salma Samar Damluji since the early 1980s, most recently with the Daw’an Mud Brick Architecture Foundation (2005–2013), serves as the basis for a discussion about revitalizing vernacular architecture in rural, village and urban contexts. Central to this question is how to approach new design and construction which limits the damage to the relationship and balance between architecture and its environment, engaging with design principles and building techniques, whilst responding to residents’ emerging and future needs.

Thursday 8 September7 pm Daniel Grataloup: The cement gun in self-build. Presentation and discussion. The technique of shotcrete employed by Daniel Grataloup from the 1960s onwards has made it possible to lower building costs whilst creating amazing structures that break free of any rationalization or standardization in the way they are built. His buildings, conceived around a metallic skeleton, adopt organic forms that adapt to users’ movements inside the space. This method was taken up by the self-build movement with the theory behind it explored by Joël Unal in his book Pratique du voile de béton en autoconstruction (1981).
Let’s buildSalon September
The theme of self-build, improvised and ‘sponta-neous’ architecture is central to this month’s Salon.
Attempts to give back the individual control over their own house construction – taking this back from building firms and construction companies – were made after the Second World War with movements such as Castors in France or the different communities established by the hippie generation at Christiania in Copen-hagen or Montredon in Larzac, for example. Today with the financial markets in control of the property market, more and more people from many different backgrounds are taking the opportunity to build for themselves at low cost, a process in which social media is playing an important part, encouraging and fostering the diffusion of inexpensive traditional and inno- vative building methods – and relatively easy do-it-yourself, from the Tiny Houses move-ment, to new takes on the primitive hut and the revisiting of traditional construction methods.
Friday 9 September10 am Daniel Grataloup. Workshop. Daniel Grataloup leads a model workshop.
1 pm Architectural tour. Tour guided by Leïla el-Wakil, Salonnière. A visit to the Villa Foscari (Malcontenta) by Andrea Palladio. Meeting point: Vaporetto stop Zattere.
7 pm Ahmad Hamid: 2 Design = ½ Cost + Beautiful 2. Presentation and discussion. For seven years, during his early career, Ahmad Hamid collaborated with Hassan Fathy at the Institute for Appropriate Technology. Later he designed and developed several affordable housing typologies based on the vernacular of Egypt’s Fayoum region, constructing them in mudbrick. By utilizing these ancient building vocabularies, he reformulated alternative economies for construction, and reinvented an authentic relationship between masons, craftsmen and architects, putting the craftsmanship of the experienced mason back at centre stage in the building process. Hamid constantly transposed his mode d’emploi of immediacy and efficency to work processes across the entire design field, from sketch to execution, managing this without sacrificing his concern for reducing building and running costs – for both rich and poor, but nor compromising in the provision of beautiful, affordable social housing.

Saturday 10 September10 am Daniel Grataloup. Workshop. Daniel Grataloup leads a model workshop.
7 pm Mariana Correia: Local knowledge and capacity building through community engagement. Presentation and discussion.Through the transfer of local know-how and intangible folk knowledge, community engagement contributes to integrating people into society, supporting traditional ways of life and keep-ing social balance: giving communities’ sustained local values and a sense of belonging. In Mali for instance, through self-organ-ised craftsmanship associations, local communities transfer their know-how, encouraging traditional values and respect for the empirical knowledge of the elder generation; whilst in Nicaragua, communities of working-women are addressing capacity building skills among younger generations. Local know-how, often con-sisting of an intangible heritage of handed-down knowledge, is therefore the essential basis for preserving vernacular environ-ments, where social and cultural cohesion are at the core of local sustainability. Safeguarding this cultural heritage through ca- pacitybuilding is therefore a fundamental element in maintaining both cultural diversity and human sustainability.

Thursday 20 October7 pm Peter Vetsch: Bio-climatic underground houses in Switzerland. Presentation and discussion. A key troglodytic architecture pioneer today is Swiss architect Peter Vetsch, who has built more than ninety bio-climatic houses in Switzerland and in other countries, all half-buried underground. These variations on post-war ‘bubble houses’ are created using shotcrete and by being only partially buried in the soil, give the impression of nature and culture in perfect balance. Some today even claim that such bio-climatic houses can be built for just € 10,000 by their users, so saving both money and energy!
Let’s digSalon October
Underground architecture exists somewhere between myth and reality. It is a type of construction used since the dawn of history, for security, comfort and practical reasons, with humans digging dwellings down into the earth or converting caves into housing, cities and places of worship. Reinterpreting these troglodytic models in contemporary architecture remains a challenge today, but nonetheless there are numerous adventurous spirits willing to explore and exploit this field to help solve issues of construc-tion and energy costs.

Saturday 22 October7 pm Maximous El Antony: Coptic troglodytic churches in the Muqattam. Presentation and discussion. To the south of Cairo in the Muqattam mountain hides an important complex of churches and places of worship where Coptic communities still gather together today. Many stonecutters continue to embellish these places by creating magnificent religious scenes carved directly into the rock walls. The priest and scholar Maximous El Antony will present this amazingly rich and vivid heritage, linking it to the history and survival of the Coptic community.

The Iranian plateau contains one of the richest concentration of troglodytic dwellings anywhere in the world. Different types coexist, some underground, others located in the heart of mountains and ongoing scientific research is trying to better understand the structure and functioning of these sites. The village of Maymand, recently classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is discussed as an example of the ongoing inhabitation of these ancient sites and their adaptation to the contemporary world.

Thursday 24 November7 pm LVPH: Small is beautiful. Presentation and discussion. Paul Humbert from LVPH, an emerging young Swiss practice based in Fribourg, which is involved in many different types of construction in Switzerland and abroad, presents their small-scale housing built on limited budgets. These exceptional projects in the Cantons of Vaud and Fribourg will act as prompts to discuss and question the economic dimension of architecture in rich countries like Switzerland.
Let’s reduceSalon November
The forgotten concept of frugality seems now to be a veritable precondition for our continued survival on this planet and indeed of that of Earth itself. Implying turning our backs on useless luxury and wastage of resources and raw materi-als, in architecture it means questioning the way we build and finding answers to its costs, be they monetary, social or ecological. How can we build smartly and for the poorest amongst us? This Salon addresses these questions and ends in an artistic synthesis linking this quest to creativity.

Saturday 26 November7 pm Let’s keep the door ajar. AJAR featuring Aude Seigne, Bruno Pellegrino, Daniel Vuataz, Guy Chevalley, Julie Guinand, Manon Reith. Closing Perfor-mance. The Swiss literary collective AJAR, founded in 2012, is a group of young French-speaking authors who promote a redefinition of the writer’s status: based on collective work, sharing of knowledge, mutual critique and group activity. This creative performance, in both French and English, is specially designed for the Salon Suisse and focuses on the main questions of our program – reuse and recycling, bio-climatic techniques, self-build, human need in architecture, tradition-as-modernity, ‘small is beautiful’, minimal dwelling standards for all – transposed in an artistic way.
Friday 25 November11 am Paola Viganò and Cyril Veillon, Archi-zoom, EPFL: The Horizontal Metropolis – a radical project. Guided tour. This exhibition investigates the concept of the ‘horizontal metropolis ’: its space, traditions and authors and its relevance today as a charged eco- logical and social design issue. Beyond a sim- plistic centre-periphery opposition, this concept reveals the dispersed condition as a potential asset, rather than a limit, to the construction of a sustainable and innovative urban realm. It explores scenarios and de-sign strategies for the recycling and upgrad-ing of city-territories in a radical project.

7 pm David Adjaye and Ellen Baxter: New typology for affordable housing. Presentation and discussion. Conceived as an oasis for children and families in a neighbourhood beset by poverty, the Sugar Hill Pro-ject was developed by the New York-based nonprofit organisation Broadway Housing Communities (BHC), and designed by architect David Adjaye. Located in New York City’s Sugar Hill historic district, legendary home of the Harlem Renaissance, this visionary commu-nity revitalisation initiative leverages the synergies of affordable housing, early childhood education and an innovative cultural institution, the Sugar Hill Children’s Museum of Art & Storytelling, to create meaning-ful and lasting change for under- served children and adults. Architect David Adjaye and Ellen Baxter, BHC’s founder and executive director, will discuss their partnership in realizing the potential of this ambitious development, financed through a mix of public and private funding and only made possible with grassroots community support.
