Lake and Modern Architecture : Drought in Switzerland, Pile Dwellings, and Pilotis

Lake and Modern Architecture : Drought in Switzerland, Pile Dwellings, and Pilotis
Theme I : Nature And Design In 1854, Switzerland suffered from severe drought. Lake Zurich’s water level was extremely low, and the lakebed, which is normally hidden under the water, was visible. These circumstances enabled the discovery of countless piles situated at the bottom of Lake Zurich.
