Founded in 1978, Ballenberg is a legendary Swiss open-air architectural museum that gathers more than 100 residential and agricultural buildings from the 14th to the 19th centuries, from almost all of the cantons of Switzerland, which have been transported to the museum from their original sites. Together these buildings show how architecture, furnishings and tools expressed the needs of everyday life in their design and execution. Traditional handicrafts such as basket-weaving, forging, braiding, spinning, weaving and carving are also kept alive in Ballenberg's on-site workshops.Edited by Rolf Fehlbaum, entrepreneur and long-time driving force behind Vitra, this beautiful publication is an invitation to discover and explore the world of things with fresh eyes. A Way of Life compiles photographs, observations and discoveries made at Ballenberg by the acclaimed designers Jasper Morrison and David Saik and the architect Tsuyoshi Tane, who all share a fascination with the simple, the practical and the functionally beautiful. In concise, elegant writing, Morrison, Saik and Tane comment on the design ingenuities in various features of the buildings. The book’s superb photography celebrates the traces of wear and tear on door handles, benches, columns, brick tile floors and other architectural details that testify to a bygone ethos of enduring utility and economic common sense. A Way of Life serves as an encouragement to designers and consumers alike to resist trends and fads, and to critically evaluate the objects of everyday use in terms of utility and aesthetics.

Un tour d’horizon des maisons creusées, puis de leur interprétation par une architecture contemporaine intimement intégrée au paysage. Toutes ces réalisations “semi-enterrées” servent de références avec l’émergence d’attentes nouvelles pour l’habitat de demain : vivre autrement, dans le respect des éléments. Ces maisons utilisent à la fois les savoir-faire vernaculaires, le bio-climatisme naturel, les recherches formelles du siècle dernier ou les tentatives de ces dernières décennies pour exploiter les bio-technologies et l’informatique. En abordant l’ensemble de ces aspects dans le monde entier, l’ouvrage en offre une vue synthétique : il voudrait être à l’origine de nouvelles découvertes pour chacun, susciter plaisir et passion pour un habitat naturel au milieu de la roche et du végétal, un habitat dans le paysage.
