About the Initiators

Rahel

Oberscherli

Discovering architectural treasures and giving them back their radiance is my passion. I prefer objects whose creators transcend the boundaries of disciplines.
As a publicist and curator, I am interested in interactions of architecture, arts and engineering, and Western and Asian culture - as in the book «Borrowed Sceneries – The Influence of Japanese Garden Art on Swiss Landscape Architecture».
