Swissness Applied by Nicole Mcintosh
A unique and fascinating study the influence of cultural heritage and imagery on architectural production at the interface of cultural anthropology, diaspora research, and architecture, based on the example of New Glarus, Wisconsin.
"Swissness Applied is much more than history.. Normally, for this reviewer, the success of a book about a particular place is gauged by its ability to instill a desire to go and see the place in person. This book... doesn’t have to: its emphasis on the role of images in constructing a place means that seeing images of New Glarus is sufficient. Those images in their multifarious nature (old and new, Switzerland and America, drawings and models, buildings both real and imagined) provide plenty to learn from, though they also spark a lot of joy — not an easy feat in an architecture book." * World-Architects *
