Architects

Marie-Claude Bétrix studied architecture at the ETH Zurich until 1978 , then worked on various projects together with Eraldo Consolascio and other partners. In 1984 she became a member of the building commission of the city of Neuchâtel and in 1992 a member of the design advisory board of the city of Salzburg, where she was chairman from 1994 to 1997. Marie-Claude Bétrix has taught at the Southern California Institute of Architecture, the Biel Engineering School and the University of Darmstadt.

Eraldo Consolascio first studied mathematics at the ETH Zurich and then architecture. After graduating, he worked as an assistant at the Steingger and Campus Chair at ETH Zurich. In addition, together with Aldo Rossi and Max Bosshard, he carried out a study on rural architecture in the canton of Ticino . From 1988–1990 Eraldo Consolascio was visiting lecturer for design at the ETH Zurich and since 2006 he has been a member of the building committee of the city of Zurich.

Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich

Since it was founded in 1978, the office of Marie-Claude Bétrix and Eraldo Consolascio has developed its own architectural signature, for example in the construction of the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich. The first buildings were built in Ticino in the early 1980s. With the buildings and conversions for the energy supply in Salzburg (1985–2003), the office then dealt with the urban significance of industrial buildings. In 2010, the architectural office relocated from Erlenbach to the Seefeld district of Zurich .

Publications and exhibitions (selection)

The first monograph Bétrix & Consolascio - Perspektivenwechsel / A Shift in Perspective presents itself as an overview of works and is devoted to the question of architecture communication. In 2008, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich dedicated a monographic exhibition to the architect duo at the ETH Hönggerberg and presented an overview of the works of the last 30 years. Further exhibitions and lectures were among others in 2003 <in / from / to: Salzburg> in Salzburg or Er & Sie in 2008 from a series of the Architekturforum Ostschweiz.
