HOUSE STEIGER DOLDERTAL ZURICH 1959
(english edition)

The Doldertal, a small valley in the north of the city of Zurich, is best known in the history of architecture as the residence of Swiss architectural theorist Sigfried Giedion, whose book «Space, Time and Architecture» (1941) is considered a landmark in the historiography of modernity. In 1936, Giedion commissions two houses designed by Alfred Roth and Marcel Breuer – known as the Doldertal Apartment Houses – which to this day remain among the most important works of Neues Bauen in Switzerland.
