Zumthor in Mendrisio

Dear all Yesterday we closed our crowdfunding campaign with great success. The funds raised represent a decisive contribution to the publication of our book, and I would like to sincerely thank you for your support and generosity. Nothing would have been possible without you! The last few weeks have been full of excitement, as we could not foresee how the campaign would evolve at the beginning. Our uncertainty was soon replaced by enthusiasm, as we began to receive your support from all around the globe. Personally, it was a great surprise to see how far our project travelled geographically, and it has been a true pleasure to get to know so many fantastic people along the way. With the crowdfunding’s positive outcome we can now focus on the realization of the project. I’ll keep you updated about the next steps and inform you about the book’s release as soon as we have a concrete date. In order to optimize delivery logistics, all rewards will be shipped together with the book, after its publication. If you have any questions or special requests, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly. I take the opportunity to wish you all happy holidays, thanks for a fantastic journey, and I look forward to reaching out to you in 2026 with great news! All the best, Rafael

Dear all Today we have reached 100% of our first funding goal! That represents a huge step for our book, and I’m sincerely grateful to all you who believed in the project and contributed your time and money to make it possible. Your support means a lot to us! By reaching the first goal, we have crossed the ’all or nothing’ barrier, meaning that we have now secured access to the funds collected so far. We are also allowed to set a ’stretch goal’, giving us the possibility to finance the project in stages. Since the book’s publication costs are not fully covered by our initial goal alone, we have now set a ’stretch goal’ and will try to get as close as possible to the total amount required for the publication - which is between CHF 15’000 and CHF 20’000. So please keep on sharing the link, supporting the project and cheering for the book. Together we will make it! Thanks again, and all the best, Rafael

Hey everyone! We’ve just crossed an important milestone — 50% of our goal has been reached! And that’s thanks to you! I want to sincerely thank you for your support of this exciting project and share a few updates about the next steps in the book’s production. At this stage, almost all of the text is ready to be translated into German, and we’ll soon begin the layout for both editions. Printing is expected to take place next spring, and we’ll deliver the books to you as soon as possible. We’ll keep you updated as production progresses. It’s important to remember that the crowdfunding campaign works on an «all or nothing» basis — which means we’ll only receive the funds for publication if we reach 100% of our goal. So let’s keep going! Please share the link with friends and help us spread the word. Together, we can make it happen! Thanks again — see you soon! Rafael
