CHALETS OF SWITZERLAND
"Patrick Lambertz's pictures oscillate between an unreal and a hyperrealistic world. That is what makes them so mysterious and fascinating. He takes his craft to the extreme. The photos are perfect, the book is beautifully designed and reduced to the essentials. The single picture is in a dignified cardboard cover. All in all, it will please everyone who cares about art and aesthetics."
Daniel Frédéric Minder, Architect - Zurich | Atelier M Architekten GmbH
The photo book of the series is published by Hartmann Books / Stuttgart
Designed by award-winning Dutch book designer Sybren Kuipers (SYB), this beautiful photobook about the series "Chalets of Switzerland", feels like a hike through a misty Swiss mountainscape. As you flip through the pages, the houses gradually emerge from the white of the blank pages like witnesses from another time. The text contributions by Edwin Huwyler, Monika Twerenbold and Daniel Blochwitz open up unusual perspectives on Switzerland and its clichés in general and its architecture in particular.
