This issue turns to Leopold Banchini, whose studio treats architecture as a means of supporting unexpected ways of living together. Rather than chasing formal composition, the work values the act of construction itself, keeps to simple and economical means, and answers each site and social situation directly—an attitude that makes the practice one of the more distinctive voices in contemporary Swiss architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA full issue dedicated to the work of Leopold Banchini Architects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt work and projects presented in AMAG's signature large-format layout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by AMAG founder Ana Leal, with accompanying essays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart of AMAG's long-running series on international practice, collected by architects as a working archive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You'll Discover\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow a small Geneva studio pursues economy and sustainability without falling back on a signature style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhy the practice prizes the poetry of construction over composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow individual buildings respond to the particular conditions of their site and community\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA practice-led view of architecture as a framework for collective life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeopold Banchini runs his architecture practice in Geneva, where the studio pursues an architecture of simplicity, economy and sustainability.
