Artist

Nele Dechmann | Research Trip | Home-Not-Alone 2020

Switzerland

1-15 September 2020

Nele Dechmann lives and works in Zurich. She moves in a niche area between art and architecture, investigating what architecture means for society. A special focus lies on how global systems and local realities create architectural form. A school in rural Madagascar was made by communicating with the local workers through axonometric projections, not unlike instructions for model airplanes. Together with artists she researched and published on the architecture of Johannesburg and Warsaw. Her dissertation analyses how an an undeveloped region in Sardinia was developed from scratch into “Costa Smeralda” by an international network. Her architecture projects and publications have been published and awarded internationally.
