Miroslav ik worked as a Full Professor at the ETH Zurich between 1999 and 2018 during his second period there. Since the 1990s, ik's theory and teaching have formed an important pillar of Swiss and international architectural history.This extensive volume contains the best 90/120 works respectively by students from both periods of Miroslav ik's teaching, including plans, project descriptions and perspective diagrams. Some of the presented students went on to become renowned contemporary Swiss architects. This volume also includes the most important manifesto-like texts by Miroslav ik and enlightening essays on the movement of analogue and oldnew architecture.
