Yuri Palmin and Elena Kosovskaya showed an interesting project within the framework of Arch of Moscow, which, for various reasons, was hardly noticed. The project is dedicated to the "Swiss villages", or more precisely the Zidlungs - amazing representatives of the idea of self-organization of residents for construction without profit, which survived in this country throughout the 20th century - an idea that Yuri Palmin poetically called "unification for the sake of individual freedom", and which is now becoming more and more popular in European countries. Against the backdrop of rising housing prices, one must think.
The project was not limited to an exhibition, two Swiss, theorist Stefan Truby and architect Bruno Krucker, lectured at the MARCH school. We recommend our recent interview with Bruno Krucker, and bring you the tapes of both lectures.

Lecture by Stefan Truby
Professor at the Technical University in Munich, architectural historian
The history and development of architecture is not limited only to intracultural processes. Therefore, the topic touched upon intercultural exchange in the field of architecture, transcultural transfers that arise both as a result of the activities of individual historical figures and under the influence of economic, political, stylistic and other factors. In a short but informative lecture, Stefan Truby covered the history of the development of architecture under the influence of various factors, its current state on the example of the activities of the world's leading architects and even tried to make some predictions for the future. ***

Lecture by Bruno Krucker
Professor at the Technical University in Munich, partner of Ballmoos Krucker Architekten, Zurich
Bruno Krucker drew attention to the problem of growth in housing construction in Switzerland and Europe in recent decades. According to the speaker, the high demand for housing and significant investment inflows have led to serious changes at the level of urban planning. New spatial and city-forming models, a different nature of architecture, a change in the environment and landscape - all this, according to Krucker, is becoming a reality of a modern urbanized city with a shortage of empty spaces and greenery. The best examples from world practice demonstrate how it is possible to respond to new challenges by means of architecture. ***
