The satellite town of Schlieren near Zurich is typical of Swiss suburbia. This two-volume book concludes a long-term photographic observation project to record how construction and urban development are changing the character of our conurbations. In addition to overviews of sixty-three locations taken under identical conditions every two years, it also comprises photographic series of specific features of the cityscape produced at various intervals during the same fifteen-year period. The archive volume visualizes the changes unfolding at the selected locations over time, while the essay volume contains both conceptual image series and analytical texts by experts in various disciplines.
