Summary:

"Swiss architect Hans-Jorg Ruch has forged an international reputation for his conversions of historic farmhouses and mansions in Engadin. Ruch both restores these fascinating spaces as well as harmoniously integrating new elements." "This book presents ten of Ruch's projects for the first time, lavishly illustrated with over 200 photo-graphs by Filippo Simonetti as well as plans of each house. Art historian Ludmila Seifert-Uherkovich explores the history and typology of the houses, and Ruch himself outlines his philosophy in personal texts."--BOOK JACKET.
