St\u00e9phanie Bru and Alexandre Theriot (FR) founded Bruther in Paris in 2007 and since 2022 in Zurich. <\/span>
They belong to the generation of architects who launched their careers at the beginning of the recession, a condition likely reflected in the way they define architecture: like a Swiss Army knife, a tool to be used in the most disparate circumstances, an aid that reconciles all fields of knowledge. Their recent projects suggest a delicate balance between strategy and form, rigour and freedom, specific and generic, immediacy and evolvability. Their work was the object of a monograph entitled \u201cIntroduction\u201d in 2014, and of many other international publications (2G \/ 2017, El Croquis \/ 2019, A+U \/ 2023, AV \/ 2026).

Distinguished by several awards, they have received the \u00c9querre d’Argent prize three times (2016, 2018 and 2020), the Dejean prize in 2018 from the Academy of Architecture, in 2020 the Swiss Architectural Award and most recently in 2025 the Brussels Architecture Prize. They lecture at various architecture schools worldwide, as Associate Professors of Architecture & Design. In 2022, they taught at Harvard\u2019s Graduate School of Design. St\u00e9phanie Bru currently teaches at the USI Academy of Architecture Mendrisio, Switzerland and at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany. Alexandre Theriot is professor at ETH Zurich.

BRUTHER<\/strong> | NEW MODERNISMS<\/h6>\n

Founded in Paris in 2007 and later in Z\u00fcrich, Bruther belongs to the generation of European architects who launched their careers at the beginning of the recession, a condition reflected in the way they define architecture: like a Swiss Army knife, a tool to be used in the most disparate circumstances, an aid that reconciles all fields of knowledge. Their recent projects suggest a delicate balance between strategy and form, rigour and freedom, the specific and the generic, immediacy and evolvability in what could be called a new modernism, reigniting the legacy of the post-war welfare state.<\/span><\/p>\n
