The conference held at the University of Zurich focuses on the orientalising architec-tural tradition of Switzerland. This monumental heritage that in the course of the 20th century largely felt into oblivion, not only testifies to the global networking of Swiss architects and commissioners in the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th cen-tury, but also highlights the importance of architectural academies and schools of arts and crafts, as well as national and international exhibitions, for the diffusion of new trends. In addition to the presentation of selected contributions from Switzer-land, case studies from Europe will also be examined.
