Social housing building at Via Adolfo e Oscar Torricelli
Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland; 1965-67Dolf Schnebli
(photographs by Alberto Flammer; Klaus Kinold)«The fundamental choice underlying the project of social apartment houses is the typological and volumetric complexity of the building. It signifies for the refusal of the functional standardization of collective housing in favour of the individual sphere of the tenant and his identity with the place. Not the mass but the individual.»_ “Schnebli and Tami, the construction of a neighbourhood” by Paolo Fumagalli
