blocher partners yearbook 2022

“In the green zone” is a statement that has become wishful thinking this year at the latest, given the many crises and events that have occurred. Nevertheless, we have titled our 2022 yearbook, which was created by the communications agency typenraum in collaboration with blocher partners, “The Green Book.” Especially in these times, we need to raise awareness of the situation we find ourselves in and look ahead.

To overcome future challenges, we need sustainability in social processes on the one hand and the development of new strategic directions and specific responsibilities on the other. This applies to our values and strategy process as well as to our projects. In addition to a cross-section of current projects from all areas of our transdisciplinary work, the leitmotif of sustainability resonates in various essays and interviews.

Sustainability, climate change, resource scarcity—even our architecture firm is subject to the fragility of the world. But we defy the circumstances and try to respond to events and deal with challenges creatively. This definitely includes questioning tried-and-tested methods.

That's why we're closing our yearbook with a quote from the writer Paulo Coelho: “The world is changed by your example, not by your opinion.” Actions speak louder than words. When it comes to making a difference in the world, you should lead by example. Our projects—whether within our company or in architecture—show that we put our commitments, goals, ideas, and optimism into action.
