This lecture explores the architectural work of Nickisch Walder, focusing on their interest in authentic buildings with a strong tectonic feeling. They aim for specific solutions and core implementation in their projects, as seen in their creations like Refugi Lieptgas, Matterhorn Basecamp, and Two family house 'Sulten'. The lecture delves into the importance of the created structure being part of its surroundings, considering factors such as territory, climate, culture, and technical conditions. It also discusses the significance of every element within the architecture, from inside spaces to materials and objects. Through detailed examples like Casa Pinut and Refugi Lieptgas, the lecture showcases Nickisch Walder's design principles and construction techniques.
