Swissness Applied consists of 7 25’ long tables that contain both documentation and original architectural explorations. Attached to the tables are 13 viewfinders filled with photographs of the swissified town and its’ photographic precedent. Each viewfinder offers glimpses into the imagery in the New Glarus collection. They include photographs from Chapter 118: Building Construction, Article II: Swiss Architectural Theme in the New Glarus building code that offers guidelines that enforce the use of typical elements of the Swiss Chalet style. The exhibition consists of 82 architectural models in total and 21 drawings.
