SWISS TRIPCHUR CITY : A DAY IN THE CAPITAL OFGRAUBUNDEN THE OLDEST CITY OFSWITZERLAND IN THE LARGEST KANTON IN THEWORLD. VALS : OVER NIGHT IN THE THERME! ONTHE WAY TO THE THERME, WE WILL STOP BY THEMOST AMAZING PIECES OF ARCHITECTURE BUILTIN THE SWISS ALPES: PETER ZUMTHOR, VALERIOOLGIATI, GION A. CAMINADA, BEARTH &DEPLAZES ECT; THERE WHERE NATURE REALLYWOULD LIKE TO TAKE OVER THE AREA AGAIN.

SWITZERLAND(GERMAN: SCHWEIZ, SWISSGERMAN : SCHWYZ, FRENCH: SUISSE,ITALIAN: SVIZZERA, ROMANSH: SVIZRA). THE SWISS CONFEDERATION(CONFOEDERATIO HELVETICA IN LATIN) IS A COUNTRY OF ROUGHLY 7.6MILLION PEOPLE IN WITH AN AREA OF 41,285 KM2. SWITZERLAND IS ACONSISTING OF 26 STATES CALLED KANTONS. IT IS BORDERED BY THECOUNTRIES GERMANY, AUSTRIA, ITALY, FRANCE AND LIECHTENSTEIN.SWITZERLAND HAS A LONG HISTORY OF NEUTRALITY, IT HAS NOT BEENAT WAR SINCE 1815 AND HOSTS MANY INTERNATIONALORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THE RED CROSS, WORLD TRADEORGANISATION AND ONE OF THE TWO EUROPEAN U.N OFFICES.SWITZERLAND IS MULTILINGUAL AND HAS FOUR NATIONAL LANGUAGES: GERMAN, FRENCH, ITALIAN AND ROMANSH. WITH AN AREA OF 41,285KM2, SWITZERLAND IS A RELATIVELY SMALL COUNTRY. THE MOREMOUNTAINOUS SOUTHERN HALF OF THE COUNTRY IS FAR MORESPARSELY POPULATED, WHILE THE NORTHERN HALF HAS A GREATERDENSITY, AS IT COMPRISES MORE HOSPITABLE HILLY TERRAIN.

GRAUBUNDENOR GRISONS (GERMAN: GRAUBÜNDEN, ITALIAN: GRIGIONI, ROMANSH:GRISCHUN) IS THE LARGEST AND EASTERNMOST CANTON OUT OF 26CANTONS OF SWITZERLAND. THE AREA OF THE CANTON IS 7105 KM2.ONLY ABOUT A THIRD OF THIS IS COMMONLY REGARDED AS PRODUCTIVELAND. FORESTS COVER ABOUT A FIFTH OF THE TOTAL AREA. THECANTON IS ALMOST ENTIRELY MOUNTAINOUS, COMPRISING THEHIGHLANDS OF THE RHINE AND INN RIVER VALLEYS. MANY OF ITSSCENIC AREAS ARE PART OF THE ONLY SWISS NATIONAL PARK. THEMOUNTAIN RANGES IN THE CENTRAL AREA ARE VERY DEEP, SOME OFWHICH ARE CONSIDERED THE DEEPEST VALLEYS IN EUROPE. THESEVALLEYS WERE ORIGINALLY SETTLED BY THE RATIANS. MOST OF THELANDS OF THE CANTON WERE ONCE PART OF A ROMAN PROVINCECALLED RAETIA WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED IN 15 BC . THE AREA LATERWAS PART OF THE LANDS OF THE DIOCESE. CHUR IS THE OLDEST CITY OFSWITZERLAND AND TODAYS CAPITOL OF THE CANTON GRAUBUNDEN.AGRICULTURE AND TOURISM ARE THE PILLARS OF THE ECONOMY.

CHUR CITY(GERMAN: CHUR, ROMANSH: CUIRA, ITALIAN: COIRA, LATIN: CURIARHAETORUM) LIES IN THE NORTHERN PART OF SWITZERLAND AND ISALSO THE CAPITAL OF THE LARGEST SWISS CANTON : GRAUBUNDEN, INWHICH CHUR IS THE MOST POPULOUS MUNICIPALITY WITH ABOUT40 000 INHABITANS. ARCHAEOLOGICAL EVIDENCE OF SETTLEMENT ATTHE SITE GOES BACK AS FAR AS THE PFYN CULTURE (3900-3500 BC),THEREFORE CHUR IS THE OLDEST CITY OF SWITZERLAND. THE CITY ISLOCATED AT A HIGHLY STRATEGIC LOCATION, WHERE THE ROADS FROMSEVERAL MAJOR ALPINE TRANSIT ROUTES COME TOGETHER. THEMODERN NAME “CHUR” DERIVES FROM WHEN THE SITE WAS A ROMANFORTIFIED CAMP: “CURIA RAETORUM”. CHUR IS 74 KM BY RAIL FROMZURICH, AND IS THE MEETING-POINT OF THE ROUTES FROM ITALY OVERMANY ALPINE PASSES. CHUR IS THE CENTRE OF AN ACTIVE TRADE ANDIT IS THE BIGGEST SHOPPING - DESTINATION BETWEEN ZURICH ANDMILANO, CAUSE THERE IS NOT MUCH INBETWEEN BUT MOUNTAINS.

EXCURSIONFROM CHUR TO VALS: SERVICE-STATION INCAZIS, VIA MALA CUT AND BRIDGES BY JÜRGCONZETT. SCHOOL IN PASPELS, THE HOUSEFOR A MUSICIAN IN SCHARANS AND THEYELLOW HOUSE IN FLIMS, BY VALERIO OLGIATI.CHAPEL SOGN BENEDETG BY PETER ZUMTHOR.STIVA DA MORTS IN TRIN AND HOTAL ALPINABY GION A. CAMINADA. THE AULA IN VALLUMNEZIA BY BEARTH & DEPLAZES. FINALDESTINATION: THERME IN VALS BY ZUMTHOR.

THERME VALSZUMTHOR WAS SELECTED AS ARCHITECT FOR THE SPA. THE FACILITYWAS BUILT BETWEEN 1993-1996. THE BATHS WERE DESIGNED TO LOOKAS IF THEY PRE-DATED THE HOTEL COMPLEX, AS IF THEY WERE A FORMOF CAVE OR QUARRY-LIKE STRUCTURE. THIS IS PARTICULARLY EVIDENTFROM OBSERVING THE GRASS ROOF STRUCTURE OF THE BATHS, WHICHRESEMBLE THE FOUNDATIONS OF AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE, ANDREVEAL THE FORM OF THE VARIOUS BATH ROOMS, WHICH LIE BELOW,HALF BURIED INTO THE HILL-SIDE. BUILT USING LOCALLY QUARRIEDVALSER QUARZITE SLABS, THE SPA BUILDING IS MADE UP OF 15DIFFERENT TABLE-LIKE UNITS, 5 METRES IN HEIGHT, WITH CONCRETEROOF UNITS SUPPORTED BY TIE-BEAMS. THESE UNITS FIT TOGETHERLIKE A GIANT JIGSAW PUZZLE. THE NATURE OF THE CONSTRUCTION ISREVEALED THROUGH CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE ROOF. THE ROOFS OFTHE UNITS DON’T JOIN, BUT ARE COVERED BY GLASS. THERE ARE60,000 1 METRE LONG SECTIONS OF STONE FORMING THE CLADDING OFTHE WALLS. THESE ARE INITIALLY APPEARING RANDOM LIKE AN WALL.
