28 Juni 2022, Harry Gugger in the Silo with Beton Suisse
<<Harry Gugger Studio received an award for the conversion of the Erlenmatt Silo as part of the BETON 21 architecture prize. The continued existence of one of Switzerland's early reinforced concrete structures is the best example of the durability and robustness of concrete buildings. Harry Gugger Studio succeeded in largely preserving the reinforced concrete structure. Thanks to extremely sensitive interventions, the silo building carries an important part of the quarter's history into the future.>>

31 Oktober 2014, "The next 100 years. Scenarios for an Alpine City State"
Communal, Collective and Constitutive:
Marijn Spoelstra, Jiang Jun, Harry Gugger
Cities are infrastructure for location factors. Accessibility, proximity and density result in higher land values, which can be further increased through an intelligent mix of functions and open spaces. Urban development is the most fundamental value-additive process without which there would be no economy, culture or progress. Yet, to whom does this value belong and how can it be ensured that more value is created than destroyed? Contemporary China is a laboratory of urbanism drawing from the blueprints of rural collectives, millennia-old urban bureaucracies and Western capitalism. Jiang Jun spent years studying its many varieties conjured up by an accelerated process of copying and transformation..
