Michael Alder (born October 18, 1940 in Ziefen ; † June 12, 2000 in Roveredo ) was a Swiss architect .
Life
Michael Alder, the priest's son who grew up in the canton of Basel-Landschaft , completed an apprenticeship as a structural draftsman before completing his architecture studies at the Technikum Luzern in 1965. In 1969 he founded his own architectural office, from 1987 Alder & Partner, since 1994 in a studio with Hanspeter Müller and Roland Naegelin .
Alder was co-founder of the architecture department of the engineering school in Basel (today FHNW ) in Muttenz and there from 1972 to 2000 professor for analysis, design and construction.
«'Say what you think and do what you say' was his motto; and while building he kept his word. His houses are clear and linear, practical and beautiful, people-friendly and inexpensive. " In 30 years Alder and his partners have built single-family houses, housing estates or public buildings in the Basel area, in the canton of Zurich, in Salzburg and in Stuttgart.
