Until now Emil Jauch (1911-1962) has been a little known protagonist of Swiss post-war
architecture. Shaped by the Scandinavian Modernity of the 1930s his buildings are
characterised by a remarkable sensitivity. This book demonstrates the Lucerne architect's
empathetic design method by presenting his constructed school buildings. The publication
describes the architect's life and work in three chapters recognising his achievements in
school building and classifying them within the European context of a humanising functionalism.
