Barth and Zaugg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ATEL administration building and main post office, Olten, an early work of the office. 1946-53

Barth and Zaugg was the joint office of the two architects Alfons Barth (1913–2003) and Hans Zaugg (1913–1990) in Aarau, which existed from around 1942 on. Both architects also had their own offices, Barth in Schönenwerd and Zaugg in Olten.

Their collaboration began with the revision of a competition for the Solothurn Central Library. Hans Zaugg won a first competition ex aequo with works by Hans Bracher and Werner Studer , and for the second stage he brought in Alfons Barth. As a result, the architects worked a variety of competitions and realized several projects resulting from these competitions, mainly schools, the most a moderate modernity were held in forms and the mid-1940s Landi style can be assigned. A typical example of a post-war modern building is the administration building of Aare-Tessin AG and the main post office in Olten.
