Online Exhibition "Swiss Coloniality and Its Industrial Architectures" – Now on Repository

Students tried to identify moments where Switzerland was involved in the history of global colonialism and how this entanglement is indirectly readable in the architectural and urban histories of Switzerland. Whether the chocolate or textile industry shapes the built environment through factories or warehouses, or whether architecture is exported in the form of technology, expertise or building material – the role of industry is an obvious starting point to speak of ‘Swiss Coloniality’.

We kindly invite you to visit the exhibition on the repository here.

Next semester, we will be offering a new edition of the course. Information here.
