The architecture of Silvia Gmür and her son Reto is revealed in the simple gesture and in this radical thought of L. Borges: 'To build is to change the crust of the earth'. The end result is a rigorous architecture that tries to advance to the poetic dimension of building by bringing together the experience of the space in which people live, the structure that holds everything together and the light that adds life. What living is, Silvia Gmür has explored above all in hospital construction, this is one of the constant themes in the office's development work, in the spirit of Le Corbusier's dictum: A hospital is a home of man.
