The work of Walter Hunziker retraces ideals of the Renaissance: Architectural practice being inalienably interconnected with artistic expressions, studies on nature and cultural history, but also academic teaching and research. His early commitment to architecture found its temporary conclusion in a degree from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich and several years of architectural practice in various Swiss firms. In the 1970s a period of learning and working at a renowned printmaking studio led to a series of etchings, which - on the basis of Swiss Federal Grants - allowed a stay at the Swiss Academy in Rome. This was followed by years of teaching architecture on behalf of US universities in New York, London and Florence. Nowadays, after more than 35 years of challenging architectural practice at the head of a small and dedicated team, Walter Hunziker focuses his attention anew to the roots of architecture, to visionary concepts and a deeper understanding of the importance of architecture in our society and of the architectural drawing in the digital era.
