| book description |

In 1955 Max Frisch, Lucius Burckhardt, and Markus Kutter published achtung: die Schweiz, a warning aboutthe increasing level of sprawl throughout the Swiss landscape and a plea for a new and better controlledurbanity in the form of high-density settlements. Sixty years later, the level of alarm against the increasinglevels of urban sprawl has not diminished and yet single-family houses and low-density settlements stillunabatedly continue to threaten the Swiss landscape. Openly alluding to the book of 1955, achtung: dieLandschaft suggests a different yet radical point of view. Reclaiming a central role of Landschaft-land,landscape, and the entire un-built territory-as a remedy to current urban conditions, the understanding of theSwiss Un-built territory becomes the lens through which alternative strategies and visions for the future cannow advance.
