The first snow of the year arrived just in time for our X-Mas excursion. Our trip this year took us to Winterthur and St.Gallen where we visited the newly opened outdoor school Wallrüti by Schneider Studer Primas, the school complex St.Leonhard by Clauss Merz, the new Learning Center of the HSG by Sou Fujimoto as well as the Nature Museum by Meier Hug and Armon Semadeni. In terms of content, the motive was not use, but the search for new typologies. In the evening, we rounded off the day with a cosy pre-Christmas dinner.
