Swiss architect Peter Vetsch, who was born on March 14, 1943, is well-known for creating earthen homes.
1943 saw Vetsch’s birth in Sax, Switzerland. In Sax, he went the public schools from 1950 until 1956. After that, he went to an agricultural school in Cernier where he eventually graduated in 1962. After that, he worked for an architecture firm in St. Gallen as an apprentice in structural design in Winterthur. Vetsch continued his education at the Düsseldorf Academy of Arts, where he received his diploma in 1970. He worked for architecture firms in Germany and Switzerland after receiving his diploma.
Since 1978, Peter Vetsch has operated his architecture firm in Dietikon, Switzerland.
Peter Vetsch has gained recognition for his earth house building since the late 1970s. He has so far constructed more than 70 earth homes in Switzerland and other nations across the world. Vetsch’s Earth homes are an example of his vision for an environmentally responsible, ecological, and forward-thinking architectural style.
Peter Vetsch also constructs conventional homes in addition to earth dwellings. With the aid of his technology, he can construct building shells with the highest amount of volume and the least amount of surface area, making them the optimum shape for energy conservation. These structures stay away from straight angles. Their varied spatial layouts break up the monotony of traditional, homogeneous designs. The earth houses curved shapes are the perfect fusion of form and purpose. The emotive form pays tribute to the environment’s inherent beauty. The organic shape of the house flows with the surroundings. The goal of building an earth house is different from that of conventional residential structures erected on the ground: “Not to live beneath or in the ground, but with it,”….! Although the buildings may have an old-fashioned, primitive appearance on the outside, the inside has high-end furnishings and equipment.
Vetsch retired from his position as Artforum Berlin’s director in 2011.
Vetsch was connected to plans for several Eco Theatres that would be constructed in the future Olympic Park in London in time for London 2012.
