Stanislaus von Moos explains his home
Stanislaus von Moos, winner of the Meret Oppenheim Prize 2023, lives in a very special house. The art historian and former professor takes us on a tour that highlights the various features of this building, which is part of the national cultural heritage.
The Doldertal apartment buildings were built in 1935 by the client Siegfried Giedion and the architects Alfred and Emil Roth in collaboration with Marcel Breuer on a small hill above the city centre of Zurich. The apartment complex was a manifesto of “New Building” in Switzerland.
Stanislaus von Moos has known the Doldertal houses since he worked as an assistant for Giedion as a student. In 1986 he moved into one of the flats himself. We visited von Moos at his home, where he took us on a tour of the building. In this video, he shows us the architectural features of the building and tells us a few anecdotes.
